Luka Doncic has seemingly recovered from his wrist injury and might play in Dallas Maverick's road game in Utah.
Luka Doncic will join the Dallas Mavericks on their upcoming road trip and could play as soon as Saturday in Salt Lake City against the Utah Jazz.
After missing the past five games due to an injured wrist, Doncic returned to practice with his teammates on Friday. It’s uncertain whether he’ll play against Utah or Sunday in Portland during the Mavericks’ weekend road trip, but he will be with the team.
“He’s doing his individual workouts. Everything I’ve heard or seen is trending in the right direction,” Dallas coach Jason Kidd said on Wednesday.
Unlike last season, when the Mavericks only won four of 12 games in Doncic’s absence, Dallas has fared well without their top gun since he was injured on November19 against New Orleans.
The Mavs are 4-1 in that stretch, including a 129-119 win at Atlanta on Monday and Wednesday’s 129-114 victory over the New York Knicks.
This season, Doncic is averaging 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game while shooting 43.5% from the field and 32.4% from three-point range. However, his scoring efficiency has dipped compared to previous seasons.
