    'BAH HUMBUG': Luka Doncic Hurt, Kyrie Irving-Led Comeback Falls Short in Mavs' Christmas Day Loss to T-Wolves
    Dec 26 2024
    The worst-case Christmas Day scenario for the Dallas Mavericks was realized on Wednesday afternoon, as they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves and superstar Luka Doncic suffered a calf injury that will likely keep him sidelined for a significant period of time. Dalton Trigg and Drew Johnson recap the Mavs' near comeback from being down 28 points, led by Kyrie Irving, who finished with a game-high 39 points. Although Doncic's injury was a big blow, the guys discuss how the Mavs' roster was built to withstand this kind of adversity. Dallas is currently 6-2 without Doncic this season, so we'll see if they can keep up that success over the next several weeks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
