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.

Can Luka Doncic push through his injury to lead the Mavericks back to victory tonight?

Have an interesting take?

In the Spurs’ first is Tre Jones, who is out due to his right ankle sprain. Due to the injury, he has missed 12 games as the last he played was against the Mavs. on October 25, which was their season opener. The next, which is also their last, is their forward Jeremy Sochan also out due to his surgery on a fractured left thumb, which occurred against LA Clippers. However, the team is yet to update to both of their injuries. As now we know about their injuries, look into their depth chart.
