The NBA world is in shock as reports emerge that Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić may face a career-threatening groin injury following a brutal collision with Stephen Curry in last night’s high-stakes matchup against the Golden State Warriors.
According to multiple insider sources, Dončić suffered the injury during the third quarter when he drove to the basket and was met by Curry in what appeared to be a routine defensive play. However, slow-motion footage reveals that Curry may have extended his leg unnaturally, causing Dončić to lose balance and collapse to the floor in visible pain.
Moments later, Dončić was helped off the court, clutching his groin, and was unable to return to the game. The Mavericks later confirmed that their star underwent immediate medical evaluation, and initial results suggest a grade 3 groin strain — an injury that could sideline him for months or, in the worst-case scenario, threaten his career longevity.
💥 On social media, chaos erupted.
Thousands of fans flooded platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, accusing Curry of deliberately trying to injure his rival.
“This is no longer basketball – this is a career assassination of a young genius!” one furious fan posted, receiving over 50,000 likes within hours.
While Warriors representatives insist the incident was a “pure accident,” Mavericks fans — and even some neutral analysts — aren’t convinced. Former players like Richard Jefferson and Matt Barnes have already called on the NBA to review the footage, saying the league “cannot ignore” an act that appears “beyond reckless.”
🏥 As Luka undergoes further scans, the basketball community holds its breath. Losing Dončić — one of the brightest young talents and a global face of the NBA — would be a devastating blow not only to Dallas but to the league as a whole.
🔥 For now, the question remains: was it just bad luck… or a dark moment of intent in NBA history?
