The Dallas Mavericks are gearing up for their third preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, but the focus remains on the anticipated return of star guard Luka Doncic. Following Saturday’s practice, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd provided an important update on Doncic’s status and his potential participation.<\/p>
Although Doncic has been involved in team training sessions, he and teammate PJ Washington have yet to see any action in the preseason games. During a recent media session, Kidd addressed their situations, stating, “PJ went through practice, he was good. And then Luka participated in non-contact today, so he was good.”<\/em><\/p> When pressed about whether Doncic or Washington would play in Monday’s matchup, Kidd exercised caution. “I would not say Monday, but we will see how everything is going when we come back from LA,” <\/em>he said. “We will probably have a better sense of what’s going to take place on Thursday,” <\/em>he added.<\/p>
