Luka Doncic’s availability for the Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Clippers Game 4 on Sunday is uncertain. Doncic is listed on the Mavericks’ injury report for the first time. Even if his status is uncertain, the Slovenian is anticipated to play.
After winning the previous two games in the series, the Mavericks can take a 3-1 lead. They will have an even bigger edge in Game 4 since they will have a homecourt advantage.

Doncic was hurt in the first half of Game 3 with a right knee injury. After a collision with Russell Westbrook, he was forced to leave the game early. The injury was sustained when Doncic collided with Westbrook on a driving attempt.
Despite seeming to be in excruciating pain, MVP front-runner Luka Doncic returned and played 40 minutes. However, he disclosed during the game that his knee was stiff and not “good.”
