[@DrBaller_23]

It ruined a good christmas game, speedy recovery for luka

[@retrac6306]

Game got better when he left way more ball movement, and Dallas was semi-competitive

​@@retrac6306It's okay, we all have our dumb moments in life, but not all of that has to be said out loud though. Yikes.

[@RobMoreno-mw5uq]

​@@retrac6306when he left dallas went from 11 down to 28 and he was the only one playing defense and it stayed that way until the 4th.

Dallas should not force Luka’s return or he might have the same injury as KD.

Always be closing your mouth SAS

[@rumbajuice]

The last time I saw Luka looked like he wasn't ailing from anything was 2022 playoffs. Since then he's been riddled with minor injuries. I think Dallas' doctors need to make him sit down, as hard as it is to do. Dallas will make the playoffs without him, just return when he's 100% ready, and he'll be an even bigger force to deal with, more than he already is.

[@frgabrielmary4620]

He never seems 100%. I don't see him ever winning a championship without making conditioning and offseason rest a priority. He might want to start fresh with his training staff as well. Whatever he's been doing isn't working.

[@martinflores7354]

Calm down SAS. of Luka was playin they would have lost. Sit down steven

[@Fast___Break]

If luka was playing the Mavs would not have come back. He wasn’t sharing the ball when he was playing be honest

[@martinflores7354]

@ really What r u smoking. Luka would have had like 40+. Come on now.

[@justap7164]

He had only 14 points before leaving the game. Without those points it wouldn’t have been that close. They play better with him since he’s a gravity player that makes everyone around him play better y’all fail to understand that. Mavs started trailing down more points without him the second and third quarter that’s how much they were struggling without him

[@devonsolomon4153]

​@@Fast___BreakKeep telling yourself that junior!

[@patrickcampbell4137]

Should coulda woulda…but guess what? They lost

[@lac2275]

It was a matter of time. Many of us here have been raising the isue of Luka's weight. Playing at the pro level with that amount of extra weight is not sustainable. After a couple of years, your body starts to break apart. The same thing happened to Zion.

[@BERNARDO712]

The beer diet isn't working?

[@larrycampbell5649]

Luka is a great basketball player and I'm not saying that I'm in the best shape. However, I believe he is getting these injuries because of his diet. It doesn't seem like he plays a whole season without injuries. If you look at the greats, their workout routines were brutal, leading them to playing at 100% all the time. I'm a Dallas fan and some people might disagree with me when I say this, but the team plays much better when Luka is not on the floor sometimes.

[@andreyushkin]

Real. But we also just can't afford going out without Luka in these next few games because the schedule is tight. You can say that the roster is deep enough that we can actually get wins without him but if we're gonna get that for at least 3-4 weeks without Luka at all, it's gonna be tough. I hope Luka does rest for at least 3-4 weeks though and Kyrie should be able to keep us in the top 6 spot at least waiting for Luka's return. He's gonna be more impactful come playoff time with him fully ready.

With him struggling with injury, Mavs need Jimmy Butler as substitute

[@justap7164]

He won’t solve any of their problems. They don’t have assets to give up for him. They don’t need him

[@devonsolomon4153]

No!

[@devonsolomon4153]

So at the cost of our depth we must sign a 35 year old injury prone player? Yeah delusional.

[@UlyssesSmith3youtubeENT]

He'll get injured like or even worse than Luka so pass!

Luka soft

[@j.l.howlett6843]

He is just as bad as Zion but doesn’t get injured as much fat wise

[@NotyouraverageS10]

Luka and Jokic are the best in the league rn

It’s a calf strain tf you mean soft? If you had one urself you’d be in the same amount of pain he was in

somehow i think dallas plays better without him

[@onlyfacts3178]

maybe thats why MAVS were always ahead when he was on the floor hahahaha FUN STAT before the KYRIE trade MAVS were 0 wins 7 losses without LUKA..with LUKA they were winning 67% of the games making them a 3rd seed..
