Luka Doncic suffered a mild left calf strain during the Dallas Mavericks' trip to Spain and has been ruled out of Friday's preseason finale, coach Jason Kidd told reporters after Monday's practice.

Kidd said Doncic would be "reevaluated later" and expressed hope that he would be available for the Mavs' Oct. 25 opener on the road against the San Antonio Spurs. Doncic was limited to riding the exercise bike and spot shooting during Monday's practice.

Doncic suffered the injury during the Mavs' Oct. 9 practice in Madrid, which is why he was limited to five minutes in Dallas' 127-123 preseason loss to Real Madrid the next day despite the sentimental importance of facing his former club.
