Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks injured his left ankle in Game 3 of the NBA playoffs first round series against the Los Angeles Clippers. Doncic tried to come back into the game but ultimately was unable to finish and had to sit the rest of the Maverick's loss. Luka's status for the rest of the series is uncertain with an MRI coming next for his ankle. Certainly there should be concern about his availability for game 4, but we shouldn't rule him out yet for the series. In this video Dr. Brian Sutterer will explain the injury and review a very important point about preventing ankle sprains based on what happened to Luka Doncic
