Luka Doncic stole the ball during the first minute of Saturday night's NBA game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Moments later, he was holding onto his left hand in what appears to have been an injury.

The Dallas Mavericks superstar got subbed off after playing seven minutes in the first quarter but returned in the second and ultimately played 38 minutes on the court. Doncic got an X-ray during halftime, which returned negative.

"I hit his knee," Doncic said post-game about stealing the ball from James Harden on that play. "I saw the picture. It's not [a] good [one] to see."

"I don't think it's broken. The X-ray was initially that it's broken. We'll see further tomorrow in Dallas," he said.

Doncic attended the post-game press conference with his left hand and thumb wrapped. Asked whether it was his hand or thumb that was injured, the player joked about it.

"It's my thumb. I can show you the picture later. You don't want to see it," Doncic said with a smile.
