Luka Doncic rejects the possibility of an early break: I am determined not to give up this season!

Even if the Dallas Mavericks ask, Luka Doncic will not sit out and watch his teammates play. According to sharing with ESPN, Doncic has ruled out the possibility of an early break for the rest of the Regular Season.

He knows that Dallas's chances of progressing are getting smaller day by day and the team no longer has the right to decide. But as long as there is a chance to enter the play-in, Luka Doncic will not give up.

“There is no such thing as sitting out. I will play," said the Slovenian superstar. normal pitch because I am determined not to give up this season."

As of the end of the series on April 5, the Dallas Mavericks (37-42) are ranked 11th on the Western rankings. Oklahoma City Thunder (38-42) is the team in 10th place, also the last play-in when the Regular Season ends.

Due to losing head-to-head stats, Dallas needs to win 2 more games than OKC to get through and climb to the play-in group. Specifically, in the last 3 matches, Luka Doncic and his teammates had to win all (at that time 40-42) and Thunder lost at least 1 match (at that time, it was 38-44 or 39-43).

In other words, the Dallas Mavericks are no longer able to determine their own ticket to the play-in round. They need to win all the remaining matches and wait for OKC to stumble to get ahead.

Because of the increasingly narrow ability to continue, the Dallas Mavericks considered "freezing" both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in the final matches, which both kept the two stars because both were injured and left take the pick in the top-10.

Dallas is owning a "top-10 protected" pick. They will have this pick if they are outside the top-10 and fall into the lottery group. If they make it to the play-in round, the above pick will go to the New York Knicks.

Regarding the injury situation of the two stars, Luka Doncic has strained the left thigh muscle and has been playing for days, while Kyrie Irving has pain in the right metatarsal bone.

Luka Doncic is averaging 32.8 points per game this season, second only to Joel Embiid (33.0 PPG). But because Embiid just scored 52 points in the 76ers game against the Celtics, Luka will no longer be able to become the "scorer king" of the NBA this season.

However, Doncic's main goal is no longer an individual title, but a victory in the last 3 matches of the Regular Season. The immediate opponents for Luka and his teammates are the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs.
