During the Mavericks’ practice Monday afternoon, Luka Doncic appeared to be as close to game ready as he’d been since spraining his left knee and ankle Nov. 15. Until he shouted in pain. Doncic, who’d been practicing in a 5-on-5 scrimmage during the portion of the workout open to reporters, came off the Terasaki Budokan court abruptly and sat on the bleachers, grabbing at his left knee.
What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jason Kidd said Luka Doncic went through the entire practice today and “he looked great.” Doncic is questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Clippers and has missed the last 3 games with sprains in his left knee and left ankle. @Dallas Mavericks – 5:55 PM

Per Mavs PR ahead of tomorrow at LAC: Luka is questionable, but listed among the probable starters. Kleber is probable. Ntilikina is out with a calf strain suffered in 2nd qtr yesterday. 9:40 tip @theeagledallas – 5:01 PM

The Mavericks list Luka Doncic (left knee and ankle sprains) as questionable for Tuesday’s road trip finale against the Los Angeles Clippers. Frank Ntilikina (right calf strain) is out.
