Luka Doncic gets the green light
Luka Doncic was cleared to play by the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday after undergoing tests on his injured left thumb.
Doncic participated in part of Monday’s practice with a bandage on his thumb, which was diagnosed as a sprain. He underwent an X-ray at halftime of Dallas’ win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Monday that an MRI scan showed a “mild” sprain.
Doncic claimed that he suffered the injury when his thumb hit Harden’s knee while stealing the ball from James Harden in the first quarter. Doncic remained in the game despite the injury, scoring 30 points in 38 minutes.
The Mavericks host the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.
Doncic is averaging 30.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.8 assists in 16 games this season.
