They lost in front of Celx in The American Professional League E finishing 4-1, but with a nucleus Luca Densic and Kerry ErfingAll signs indicated that this is a dominant team during the next few years. I mean, a year before this week, Densic decreased 73 points in the victory over Hawk!
But the injuries have paralyzed them this year, and with less than 35 games this season, it is time to start looking at their possibilities no Make the qualifiers.
Since Luka fell with a calf injury on Christmas, MAVS was struggling. Before winning on January 27 and January 29 for two of the worst teams in the league in Washington and New Orleans, Their last record was 5-11.

MAVS hopes to return Doncic before the All-Star break, perhaps by 12 or 13 February. But it does not make sense to return it in a game or two, then break for eight days.
