Per NBA Injury report: Luka, Hardaway, and Jones are all questionable for tonight vs Lakers. Grant Williams is not on the injury report so he should be available to try to guard LeBron. 6:35 tip @971TheFreak – 2:48 PM

Doncic spoke last night about intending to play tonight, but the way he was walking and wincing after playing 44 minutes and landing hard on his back suggested, “Maybe not.” Surprised he is considered questionable, honestly. pic.twitter.com/zfuyLDGk7Q – 2:02 PM

Luka Doncic last night:
35 PTS
8 REB
6 AST
5-10 3P
He’s the youngest (24 years, 286 days) and second-fastest (351 games) player in NBA history to reach 1,000 career 3P made. The only player to do so in fewer games is Buddy Hield (350).

Yeah, it was MEM, but given the circumstances, it was one of, if not the best wins of the season for the Mavs. Kudos to Hardy and Omax for season hi pts. Lively a huge dbl-dbl, Exum w/another great all around floor game. Where would Luka’s help come from? There are your answers – 10:52 PM
