Reports are saying he could return within 2 weeks. Very good news. We're still gonna see him play before the new year.

Luka is tough, after similar injury (left leg) on Euro 2017 final game in front of 17/18 season he become Euroleague and ACB league champ and MVP..

Anyone concerned about Luka changing his shoes every game?

Well yes but i’m concerned about the future. There are shoes out there that lack ankle support.

Great, great post! That’s fascinating to watch. Looks far more like last night than I ever would’ve believed.

Hope he's back New Year's week. I am planning on going to a Mavs game whilst in town and I want to see Luka in person!

Who knows how Luka's wheels with take. He could be ready in a week. Or weeks. Then again, it's something that won't fully heal and nag him the rest of the season if he doesn't shut it down for a while. Re aggravation can be a bitch.
Dirk was an iron man when it came to ankle injuries. I seem to remember at least a couple of times where he was back next game.
In hindsight though, I wonder if the push to play was a root cause to the foot issues he had over the last 2-3 years of his career.
As much as I'm loving 3rd place in the West and as much as I'd love to see the Mavs prove themselves against the East's best, I'd rather have Luka take whatever time he needs to get fully healthy.
This could be good in that it will help the rest of the team learn to play together, rather than just playing off Luka's greatness. TBH, I had given up when they were down 20 to MIA in the 3rd, but they had chances to win. So I'm not going to be surprised if they pull off a couple of upsets in the next few weeks. Luka's awesome, but this is a pretty good team overall. Probably better than they are given credit for.

I see this Twitter post was today, was the video from today? I don't have Instagram and just googling Brunson's I don't seem to be able to tell.
Would seem to be a positive if so that he's even moving his ankle like that.
