Chandler Parsons Claims That the Mavs Are Poor Without Luka Doncic

After their 2024 NBA Finals run, the Dallas Mavericks have had a rough 2024–25 NBA season. Injuries have disrupted their success, most notably those sustained by superstar Luka Doncic. The five-time All-Star hasn’t played in Dallas’s last 13 games. They are now 4-9 and have fallen to a Play-In team during that time. Chandler Parsons, a former NBA player, feels that the Mavericks are a bad team without Doncic and that they urgently need him back.

Parsons expressed his thoughts on the Mavericks’ continuous difficulties on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back. After the Mavs’ 110-105 loss to the 13th-seeded Hornets, the dismal scenario has reached its zenith.

Chandler Parsons talks about Luka Doncic

He expressed without hesitation how vital it is that the team start playing. Dallas might be in a very unfavorable situation if Doncic is sidelined for a long time. He stated: “It’s like taking Nikola Jokic off the Nuggets. The Mavericks are drastically worse; they are not that good of a team without Luka Doncic.”

Doncic’s influence on the Mavericks was likened by Parsons to that of three-time MVP Nikola Jokic on the Nuggets. Despite not having the same absurd net rating as the Serbian big man (+27.1), the Slovenian guard is still regarded as one of the greatest in the NBA. On the court, Doncic presently has a net rating of +12.2.

A lot of people thought the Mavericks had a real shot to win the Western Conference again. Those who had high hopes for Dallas included Parsons.
