Is Luka Doncic playing tonight against Warriors? Latest on Mavericks superstar's status explored for Emirates NBA Cup game (Nov. 12)
The Dallas Mavericks will cross swords against the Golden State Warriors in one of the eight NBA Cup games scheduled for Tuesday. Dallas superstar Luka Doncic is likely to play in the team’s first in-season tournament game, though he remains listed as "probable" due to a left groin strain.
Doncic was previously marked "questionable" ahead of the Mavericks' recent game against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. He was later cleared to play, but despite his presence on the floor, Dallas fell just short in a close 122-120 loss to Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
Logging 41 minutes, Doncic struggled with shooting efficiency, finishing with 24 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block on 9 of 19 shooting, including 2 of 8 from beyond the arc.
