Luka Doncic is rumoured to be in line to bag the MVP award this season after winning the Rookie of the Year award last year. The former Real Madrid player is currently in the limelight as Nike officially announced his partnership with the Jordan brand (as per Doyle Rader of Forbes). Six-time NBA champions Michael Jordan heaped praise on Luka Doncic by saying that, “Luka is a phenomenal player at such a young age. He’s demonstrating skill that takes guys years to develop. It will be incredible to watch him continue to advance in the league.”
Doncic missed the last four games as he recently sprained his right ankle against the Miami Heat on December 14. He was subsequently sidelined against the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors.
