Is Luka Doncic Playing Tonight vs Heat?: Mavericks Star’s Availability Report Provides Hope Despite Rumors of Bring Unhappy

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks aren’t having the best time right now. The franchise’s season has effectively come to an end. Sure, mathematically, the franchise could still pull off some sort of an upset to get into the playoffs. At the end of the day, they stand at 11^th with a record of 37-40 record, only one win behind the 10^th seeded Thunder.

For those unaware, if the Mavericks can secure any of the spots from the 7^th, to the 10^th seed, they qualify for the play-in games, where they can fight to get into the postseason. And so of course, wins now are massively important.

With that in mind, will Luka Doncic be playing tonight against Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat? Or will the man decide to sit this one out?

With the man already being in town for the matchup, it is incredibly unlikely that the man doesn’t step onto the court as part of the starting lineup against the Miami Heat.
