Luka Doncic Questionable With Ankle Soreness
2 months agoDallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd says guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's clash versus the Indiana Pacers. Averaging 38.7 minutes over his last 16 games for the Mavs, Doncic is managing ankle soreness that's threatening his status. It sounds like a minor issue, but he'll nonetheless carry a questionable tag into Tuesday's tilt. Since Jan. 26, the Slovenian MVP candidate is banking 36.8 points, 10.8 assists, 9.9 rebounds, 3.9 threes, and 1.6 steals per game. Kyrie Irving would run Dallas' offense against the Pacers if Doncic is out, while Tim Hardaway Jr. would see more run from the bench. Indiana carries the sixth-worst defensive efficiency rating (116.6) in the league, and it’s worth noting the Feb. 25 meeting between these two clubs sported a massive 251.5-point implied total.
