Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic lets fans know the team’s goal for next season
The Dallas Mavericks were eliminated from the playoffs with their game six loss to the LA Clippers. Luka Doncic kept them in the game with 38 points, but it was not enough on Sunday afternoon.
Dallas played the final three games of their season without Kristaps Porzingis. The Unicorn tore his meniscus in game one. He played through the injury for two more games before being ruled out. KP does not want to have surgery, but all options are on the table.
