Is Luka playing against Jazz?
Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic sprained his left ankle just over three minutes into Thursday’s win over the Suns in Phoenix, and he was unable to return. Spencer Dinwiddie caught fire and scored 36 points to lift Dallas to the victory, but the worry meter was high after number 77 was ruled out.
Doncic was leading the league in scoring before the first scoreless game of his career on Thursday night, and he carries a massive workload for the Mavs. Dallas is winless in the five games Luka has missed this season, and fans know his team needs him if they want to finish in the top four in the Western Conference.
Supporters are eager to find out Luka Doncic’s status for tonight’s game against the Utah Jazz, and they want to know when he will be back in the lineup for the Mavs. Here is a look at the latest.
Doncic was ruled out more than 24 hours before tipoff with a sprained left ankle. The Mavs did not offer an update, but head coach Jason Kidd did not seem concerned in his postgame press conference on Thursday evening. Christian Wood (thumb) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) are also out for the Mavericks on Saturday night.
