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/KRzPEkWzeF – 2:32 PM

Jason Kidd’s update: “Same as yesterday.”
As to be expected. pic.twitter.com/De2uzbTnhI – 1:20 PM

Observations from the very high-energy end of Mavs’ practice right now:
— Very competitive shooting drills that injured/reserve guys are smashing
— Jalen Brunson took out his braids, is rocking a headband
— Maxi Kleber is on a bike in the back
— Luka Doncic isn’t present rn pic.twitter.com/28lpit2iMy – 12:36 PM

Luka Modric really had to break the laws of physics to keep Real Madrid alive. Still thinking about that. – 7:08 AM

Luka Doncic chatter on Inside the NBA:
Charles Barkley: “The Mavs got zero chance without Luka.”
Shaq: “I don’t know whether it’s high or low, but I don’t think he’s going to play Saturday.” – 1:10 AM

A 4-day break between Games 1-2 hasn’t happened since 1st round went best-of-7 in 2003. Remaining schedule will how far the NBA will go to maximize exposure of superstars like Steph and Luka.

The @Dallas Mavericks have announced that an MRI confirmed that Luka sustained a left calf strain in Sunday’s game against the Spurs. There is no timetable for his return. The #Mavs host Game 1 of their best-of-seven first-round playoff series against Utah on Saturday at noon. pic.twitter.com/JW80pNnuBs – 6:21 PM

Luka Doncic doesn’t have playoff green light yet, but Mavs remain ‘optimistic’ about his calf injury recovery for Game 1.
More inside about Luka on an exercise bike, Jason Kidd referring to Dirk and another injury status to watch:

Luka Doncic wasn’t present during the portion of practice open to reporters, but all other Mavs except Maxi Kleber were.
Watch til the end to see Tim Hardaway Jr. in a rhythm from three. First time I’d seen him really able to jump in a normal shooting motion. pic.twitter.com/m3jVrbhztM – 4:36 PM

Tim MacMahon: Luka Doncic getting in some work on the exercise bike next to teammate Maxi Kleber: pic.twitter.com/wCmQOjKpPG -via Twitter @espn_macmahon / April 13, 2022
Dwain Price: Spencer Dinwiddie on on if Luka will play in Game 1 of the series against the Jazz: “I haven’t gotten any indication that he won’t be, so I’m preparing as if he will be. They haven’t told us anything. They haven’t said be ready.” -via Twitter @DwainPrice / April 12, 2022
Tim MacMahon: Jason Kidd was predictably vague about Luka Doncic’s calf strain. Any hope for Game 1? “We’ll see,” Kidd said. “He’s in great spirits today. We’ll see how his body feels tomorrow. We’ll prepare with him and then we’ll also prepare without him.” -via Twitter @espn_macmahon / April 12, 2022
