MINNEAPOLIS — Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic headed to the locker room Tuesday after a contact play against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Doncic grasped at his right leg in the second quarter after drawing contact from Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels, who bumped Doncic from behind.

Doncic stayed on the other end of the court, grabbing at the upper portion of his knee, unable to transition to defense. While Luka was hobbled on the other end of ht floor, the Timberwolves turned the ball over, and Doncic was able to make a layup without jumping before limping into the locker room with assistance.

Doncic was spotted warming up after the half and returned to play for the third quarter.
