Luka Doncic's availability for tonight's game against the Sacramento Kings has been announced as questionable. The Dallas Mavericks point guard is said to have a left toe sprain he had earlier sustained. This might see him sit out tonight's game.

The Mavericks are the fifth seed in the NBA Western Conference standings, having a record of 38-25). With the season drawing to an end in the coming weeks, the franchise is looking to make their first playoff appearance under the legendary Jason Kidd.

The franchise is coming into tonight's game against the Kings on the back of three consecutive victories against the Golden State Warriors (twice) and the LA Lakers. In those last few outings, Doncic has averaged 33.3 points per game, shooting an average of 49.4% from the field.

The Slovenian might likely suit up for the Mavs tonight as he is a crucial part of their run for the remainder of the season. Having secured 33 double-doubles and 9 triple-doubles in 48 appearances, he is having a high performing season like his sophomore year.
