Every player except for Luka Doncic (left thigh strain) and Kyrie Irving is participating in Mavs’ end-of-practice shooting competitions right now.
The absence of the superstars does not mean the absence of good energy, however. pic.twitter.com/VI8GuMtFAl – 2:24 PM

Paolo got his 34th 20-point game tonight …
Only three rookies in the most recent 10 seasons — Luka (43), Donovan Mitchell (46) and Dame (41) — had more than 40 such games.
Paolo on pace to be in really good company. – 9:22 PM

In light of Fred VanVleet calling out Ben Taylor, I was curious to see if there was anything similar to that w/Luka. The answer: Not really. Of his 15 technicals, no one has called more than 2 (Eric Lewis, Ashley Moyer-Gleich, & Rodney Mott, who ejected Luka at MIN on Dec 19) – 9:19 PM

Luka Doncic shot 0 of 5 from the field in the second quarter. Jaxson Hayes had a hand in contesting three of those misses. Hayes gave New Orleans good minutes — and with no Larry or Zion, opportunity for him is there. nola.com/sports/pelican… – 4:06 PM

WME Sports is acquiring one of the top NBA representation firms, BDA Sports, and secured BDA founder and prominent agent Bill Duffy as the head of its basketball division. Duffy brings to WME several of the top young players in the NBA — including Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic, 2021 Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes, 2022 No. 2 overall pick Chet Holmgren of Oklahoma City, Thunder rookie Jalen Williams and $100 million-plus players RJ Barrett of the New York Knicks and Deandre Ayton of the Phoenix Suns (who WME co-reps with Innovate Sports). -via ESPN / March 9, 2023
Callie Caplan: Luka Doncic when I first asked how his left thigh strain was feeling: “It’s not good.” Said he will undergo an MRI tomorrow to determine if and how long he might be out: “It’s been going for a week, maybe more. Just can’t really push how I like.” -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / March 9, 2023
