The former Dallas Mavericks star was in New York to start the week, notably making a stop at an MLB matchup between the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays. Doncic gained social media traction when he met up with Yankees standout Aaron Judge, securing a pair of Judge’s cleats and a game-used bat.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said his best player avoided a much worse fate in terms of the injury. The team is optimistic he can return to the lineup as soon as he's eligible to be activated from his IL stint. He'll be eased in as the designated hitter to avoid putting too much strain on his elbow.

The New York Yankees are linked to trading for a solid reliever from an NL team ahead of the MLB trade deadline on July 31.
