Mavericks coach Jason Kidd provided an injury update ahead of the team’s game against the Portland Trailblazers.
Luka Doncic is back.
Kidd said before the game that Doncic would be a game-time decision, but the team announced Doncic was set to return to the lineup. The Mavericks coach also said Kyrie Irving would miss his second game of the season as the Mavs try to get a win on the second night of a back-to-back.
Doncic last played on November 19 against the Pelicans, but hasn’t played since due to a wrist sprain.
Earlier in the day, the team announced Klay Thompson (left foot plantar fascia), Naji Marshall (illness) and Dereck Lively II (right knee hyperextension) would miss tonight’s game, but listed Kyrie Irving (right shoulder soreness) and Luka Doncic (right wrist sprain) as questionable.
