- Match info: The Mavericks Report| Will Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving be at Sunday’s game against the Spurs
UPDATE (Apr. 09):
Doncic will miss the season finale against the Spurs on Sunday due to thigh injury recuperation.
Doncic is one of several Mavericks players who will miss the season finale due to the team’s elimination from postseason contention.
He played the first quarter and a few seconds of the second period before sitting out the rest of Friday’s loss to the Bulls, and he finishes the season with MVP-like numbers, though he won’t be in contention for the title. He finishes the 2022-23 season with 32.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game.
UPDATE (Apr. 07):
Luka Doncic is probable for this game due to left thigh injury management.
Doncic’s thigh injury does not appear to be a major concern, and he will most likely play again Friday as the Mavericks battle for a spot in the Play-In Tournament.
UPDATE (Apr. 05):
Luka Doncic (thigh) is listed as probable for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.
UPDATE (Apr. 02):
Luka Doncic will play against the Hawks on Sunday.
UPDATE (Mar. 29):
Luka Doncic will play against the 76ers on Wednesday.
UPDATE (Mar. 27):
Doncic scored 40 points (12-29 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 9-10 FT) with 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 4 turnovers in 40 minutes as the Mavericks fell to the Hornets on Sunday.
He was also called for a technical foul, his 16th of the year, which results in an automatic one-game suspension.
UPDATE (Mar. 26):
Luka Doncic will play against the Hornets on Sunday.
UPDATE (Mar. 24):
Despite playing only 41 minutes due to a thigh injury, Luka Doncic scored 30 points (11-27 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-10 FT), dished out 17 assists, grabbed 7 boards, and stole 1 ball during Wednesday’s 127-125 loss to the Warriors.
Doncic has missed the last five games because of a strain in his left thigh, but he appeared to be under no restrictions on Wednesday.
While backcourt mate Kyrie Irving (foot) was out, he poured in a game-high scoring total and dominated as a facilitator, setting a new season high in assists.
The 36-37 Mavericks need to win out to make the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, and Doncic’s heavy workload in his return game bodes well for his performance down the stretch.
UPDATE (Mar. 22):
Doncic (thigh) might not be able to play against the Warriors on Wednesday.
Doncic has missed five straight games because of a strain in his left thigh, and he may be out for a sixth straight game as well. He was also listed as questionable before Monday’s loss to Memphis before being downgraded to out, so Doncic’s Wednesday status doesn’t tell us anything new about his health.
UPDATE (Mar. 20):
Doncic (thigh) might not be able to play against Memphis on Monday.
Doncic has missed the last four games because of his thigh injury, but since he fully practiced on Thursday, he has made good progress. But it’s not clear yet if he’ll be able to play in Monday’s game.
If the 24-year-old stays out, the Mavericks will rotate their backcourt players based on whether or not Kyrie Irving (foot) is available.
UPDATE (Mar. 17):
Luka Doncic (thigh) will not play in Friday’s game against the Lakers despite logging a full practice Thursday.
The Mavericks’ initial injury report lists Doncic as out, which is a bit of a surprise since he was able to practice on Thursday. But since the Mavericks have a few days off before their next game, it’s possible that Dallas is just being safe with their star guard.
