The Mavericks face a significant challenge against the Spurs, with Luka Doncic listed as day-to-day due to a knee injury. The incident occurred during their game against the Timberwolves when Luka exited before halftime after injuring his leg. He was seen clutching his knee during a Mavericks possession, unable to transition back on defense. Though he returned to the court, it was evident he was playing through discomfort, visibly limping throughout his time on the floor.
However, he hasn’t missed a single match after that and was also questionable against the Jazz. So here’s a positive sign of Doncic being on the court. Meanwhile, PJ Washington is confirmed as out with a knee injury. This will mark his sixth consecutive missed game, his last appearance being against the Pacers on November 5. The Mavericks’ injury woes don’t end there. Dante Exum is also sidelined after undergoing surgery on his right wrist, an injury sustained during training camp. He is expected to miss approximately three months, meaning nearly half the season.
