The heel issue seems worse than before and his eagerly awaited debut alongside Kyrie Irving
Frank Ntilikina (non-COVID illness) is questionable for tomorrow night’s game at the L.A. Clippers.
Dāvis Bertāns (left calf strain), Luka Dončić (right heel contusion) and Maxi Kleber (right hamstring tear) and are all out.

The earliest the two can play together is the weekend game in Sacramento. As for the others, Davis Bertans and Maxi Kleber remain out.
Reminder: Jason Kidd already ruled out Luka Doncic (heel injury) for Mavericks-Clippers tomorrow, so gotta be patient for his debut with Kyrie Irving. https://t.co/RZPDKK3IaJ

Doncic’s stats in the 2022-23 NBA Season
Luka is averaging a stunning 33.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game. MVP numbers without a doubt and his campaign will certainly get a late push as the Mavericks have added on Kyrie Irving.
The latter himself is averaging 27 points per game, making them, the highest-scoring duo in the league. This is the first time Luka has played with a player of Irving’s caliber.
It remains to be seen how effective he will be in such a scenario.
