To put into perspective of how bad the injury curse has been, here’s every time Shams has reported an injury for a Mavericks player:
10/2/24 - Luka Doncic (left calf contusion) out for one week.
10/4/24 - Dante Exum (right wrist surgery) out until end of January.
11/21/24 - Luka Doncic (right wrist strain) will be re-evaluated in one week.
12/25/24 - Luka Doncic (left calf strain) will be re-evaluated in a month.
1/6/25 - Kyrie Irving (bulging disc) expected to miss 1-2 weeks.
1/22/25 - Dereck Lively II (right ankle stress fracture) expected to miss 2-3 months.
1/25/25 - Maxi Kleber (broken right foot) to be sidelined for an extended period.
2/10/25 - Anthony Davis (left adductor strain) out for multiple weeks.
2/14/25 - Daniel Gafford (right MCL sprain) out for at least six weeks.
Still going into All-Star Break with a 30-26 record.
This tweet doesn't even add in all of the times we missed Naji, Klay, Grimes, and so many others to that mysterious illness.
