LukaDoncic

News: 5 days agoDoncic said Wednesday that he's not 100 percent due to a thigh injury he suffered during the 2023 FIBA World Cup, but he plans to play through the issue during training camp and has some "appointments" upcoming to figure out the severity, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Spin: It's unclear exactly when Doncic suffered the injury, but he's downplayed the issue since. The MVP candidate was able to get some light scrimmaging in during Wednesday's training camp practice, but he does anticipate being limited moving forward. Fantasy managers should certainly monitor Doncic's situation ahead of their drafts, but for now, it sounds like the superstar point guard has no desire to miss any regular-season action.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Doncic has been a preseason MVP candidate in both the NBA and fantasy hoops for the last several seasons, and this could be the year he fulfills those expectations. Fresh off averaging career-bests of 32.4 PPG on 49.6 FG% to go with 8.6 RPG and 8.0 RPG, Doncic is potentially the most potent offensive weapon in the NBA and could be the next to average a triple-double for a full season. Doncic also enters this season with the most talented running mate of his career, as Kyrie Irving's slick offensive game, shooting ability and knack for playing off the ball coul help enhance Doncic's game to even higher levels.
