Luka Doncic made his first appearance since suffering a hamstring issue, taking the floor during the 2026 NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 15. The Dallas Mavericks guard completed the exhibition contest without any apparent aggravation of the injury, providing a positive sign for his pending return to regular-season play.
Doncic had been sidelined after sustaining a hamstring strain earlier in the month. Team medical personnel monitored the 26-year-old throughout the All-Star break, and his participation in Sunday’s showcase marked the final step in the organization’s cautious recovery plan.
No minutes restriction was disclosed, but Doncic finished the night without displaying discomfort, according to observers at the event. The Mavericks are expected to evaluate him again before determining his status for the club’s first game after the break.
