After Luka Doncic’s injury, the Cavaliers are repairing the floor
While he caused a much greater toll on the physical level with Drew Smith 2023. (knee sprain, ligament tear), sub Cavaliers especially when his new victim was an All-Star, Luka Dončić in this case.
After an injury to a Lakers player at the end of January, we asked the question in our columns : “Could the fact that a superstar is now affected make a difference and prompt the NBA to think about this issue, and force Cleveland to make changes?”
A little “yes” could be said even from the NBA and the Cleveland franchise put the topic on the table a few hours after the incident. Now we can answer with a big “yes” since a “temporary” solution has been found, it indicates The Athletic.
Before welcoming the Wizards on Wednesday night, an extension of the parquet was installed, which was raised, at the Rocket Arena, to prevent players from falling like Luka Doncic when they stray from the boundaries of the court.
This one-off compromise is an agreement between the league and the players’ union and will remain in place until the end of the season before a permanent solution is found this summer for the 2026/27 financial year.
