Everything with the Mavericks is a little opaque these days, even the windows Luka Doncic was sitting behind just as the media was allowed into the club’s...
The best thing to do is hope that Doncic is on the floor when Game 3 tips off in Salt Lake City. Anything before that feels like asking for trouble.
“He’s in good spirits,” head coach Jason Kidd said after practice Tuesday. “We’ll see how it goes. It could be a lot worse. We could be ruling him out for Game 1 or for the series. We’re preparing to play with him, and we’re also preparing to play without him.” But everyone understands it all flies out the window if Doncic cannot play. The Mavericks certainly might win a single game against Utah, which does not enter the postseason on any kind of high note and seems like a club that could be in for an overhaul this summer if it fails to escape the first round. This marks the sixth straight playoff trip for Quin Snyder’s Jazz but the team has not survived the second round, blowing a 2-0 lead to the Clippers last spring.
