With just over 7 minutes left in the third quarter, Doncic drove to the basket and was on his way for a dunk when he was met in the air by Jonas Valanciunas and Brandon Ingram.

The collision sent Doncic to the floor on his back, with his right foot briefly skidding on the hardwood in the fall. The injury cut short another sterling performance by Doncic, who exited with 31 points, eight rebounds, and four assists in just 23 minutes of action.

Head coach Jason Kidd said that Doncic will not travel with the team to the upcoming 5-game road trip, Callie Caplan from The Dallas Morning News reports. The Slovenian superstar is suffering from a right heel contusion, an MRI revealed.

Kidd did not rule out Doncic completely and said that he might join the team at some during the road trip, Caplan writes.

Doncic is currently having the best season of his 5-year NBA career, averaging 33.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 8.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. With 28 wins and 25 losses, the Mavericks are currently 4th in the Western Conference standings.
