Luka Doncic (ankle) says he'll return for Mavericks on Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks small forward Luka Doncic (right ankle sprain) said he will play on Wednesday versus the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Doncic will return from his seven-game absence to get in some work before participating in Sunday's All-Star game. He went through a 5-on-5 workout Monday morning and followed it up with a full practice on Tuesday. Jalen Brunson will likely return to the second unit and Kristaps Porzingis shouldn't be as busy on offense.
Doncic is averaging 52.7 FanDuel points per game, with 28.8 points (6th in the NBA), 9.5 rebounds (18th), and 8.7 assists (3rd) on a 46.4 field goal percentage.
