“Update, such as it is. Mavs are not required to divulge anything beyond this. Strictly by the book, and as I tweeted yesterday, common during playoff time, when every hangnail is a closely guarded secret,” said Dallas Morning News‘ Brad Townsend.

“Starting lineups will be available 30 minutes before the game on Saturday. I think then is when we’ll know if Luka is playing…” replied one account. “It’s gonna be a long week.”

Doncic was seen wearing a protective boot before Monday’s MRI. Hopefully he can be back in time to help the fourth-seeded Mavericks finally break through in the playoffs.
