Views from a very competitive, very spirited Mavs’ practice this afternoon:
— The Reggie Bullock, Davis Bertans and Marquese Chriss trio won the corner 3 contest
— Luka Doncic is allll the way back in training room. Just before media was allowed in, he’d been on a treadmill. pic.twitter.com/pKol2rGtrX1:51 PM

Zoom in enough and you can see Luka Doncic on the squat rack. Nothing in court for him yet. pic.twitter.com/yzVt1CtE0U1:19 PM

🚨 Luka Doncic 1-on-1:
Why these Mavs mark his best chance yet to “really go deep” in the playoffs — with his view even more notable post-calf strain.
“The most important thing to win a championship — the players got to love their role.”

Did Nate McMillan not see what happened with Luka Doncic on Sunday? – 9:22 PM

Dorian Finney-Smith on Luka Doncic: “He’s definitely involved still, so [he’s] helping us, you know, with schemes and offense, what he sees. He’s still walking around with that smile on his face, so you’d never really know what’s going on.” dallasnews.com/sports/maveric…4:51 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPrice
No real update from Jason Kidd on Luka Doncic: “He’s in good spirits, so we’ll see how he feels tomorrow. Externally, he looks the same.” Luka was riding the stationary bicycle after the media was allowed into practice. He strained his left calf Sunday against the Spurs. pic.twitter.com/KRzPEkWzeF2:32 PM
