On Wednesday afternoon, the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves (at home) by a score of 105-99.

While the loss was disappointing on Christmas, the only major concern for the Mavs was the fact that Luka Doncic left the game due to an injury.

On Friday evening, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the latest on Doncic.

Via Charania: “Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic will be re-evaluated in one month after sustaining a left calf strain on Christmas Day, sources tell ESPN.”

Many fans reacted to the news on social media.
