With changes to NBA COVID-19 protocol, Mavs’ Luka Doncic could return sooner than expected.
Jason Kidd: “Hopefully his ankle is healing. … I’ve talked to him a couple times, but it’s not that we’re talking basketball. We’re just seeing how he’s doing.” dallasnews.com/sports/maveric…9:31 PM
Dallas Mavericks @dallasmavs
Your first five on the floor tonight.

Jason Kidd said 6 Mavs, including Luka, are still in COVID-19 protocol.
But Reggie Bullock “is getting close to clearance” and plans to join team in Sacramento this week.
Bullock was the first Mavs player to test positive in this outbreak, Dec. 18. – 8:38 PM

Still six in protocols for Mavericks. Reggie Bullock next to return, probably in Sacramento. – 8:37 PM

Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Per Scott Brooks (filling in for Billups) Lillard is available vs Mavs – 8:23 PM
Jay Allen @PDXjay
Brooks says barring foul trouble, the 10-day guys won’t play much, if at all tonight. He’ll lean on the 8 roster players for the bulk of the minutes tonight against Dallas. – 8:19 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPrice
The @Dallas Mavericks will play the Blazers tonight at 9. Blazers coach Chauncey Billups will miss the game because he’s in the health and safety protocols. Assistant coach Scott Brooks will replace Billups. – 8:19 PM

Quin Snyder addressed Donovan Mitchell’s back injury, noting that there was some soreness lingering after the Dallas game, and a determination was made that it was simply better for him to have access to the team facilities than to put him on a couple long plane rides. – 7:10 PM

#Blazers officially announce that head coach Chauncey Billups is in the Health and Safety Protocols, and assistant coach Scott Brooks will serve as acting head coach. – 4:54 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
For what it’s worth, #Pistons Luka Garza seems to have been right about not having 6 fouls.
The official announced verbally and signaled to the scorer’s table that Garza’s 5th foul was on “91” — Deividas Sirvydis.
On the official play-by-play, that foul is credited to Garza. – 4:48 PM
