Report: Here's why it's highly unlikely Luka Doncic will play in the NBA Summer League

Mavericks fans are likely going to have to wait until after the summer to see Luka Doncic play against NBA competition.

The reason, according to a report from ESPN, is that the Mavericks want him to rest after playing through a long EuroLeague season as a member of Real Madrid.

Mark Cuban and his front office traded Trae Young and a future first round pick to the Atlanta Hawks in order to acquire Doncic during the NBA Draft on Thursday night.
