Luka Doncic (illness) misses Mavericks practice Thursday
Dallas Mavericks small forward Luka Doncic (illness) did not practice on Thursday.
What It Means:
Doncic was sent home sick. He also appeared to aggravate a thumb injury during Wednesday's game, so keep an eye on his status for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) will be a game-time decision. Delon Wright and Maxi Kleber should see more minutes if Doncic and Finney-Smith are ruled out. Kristaps Porzingis would be in line for more usage.
Doncic is averaging 52.4 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 27.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 1.9 triples per game over the rest of the season.
