Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar guard will miss his second game in a row due to a left heel contusion. The good news is that Doncic was able to do some work on the court during Friday's practice. This doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Doncic for too long. Fellow guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is returning on Saturday, so he figures to see a heavier workload. Also, Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes should see increased roles, which make them worth looking at in deep leagues.
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (heel) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers. Doncic has missed a pair of practices lately and will sit out his seventh game of the season. With Jaden Hardy (ankle) also out and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) questionable, we should see a lot of Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes in Thursday's game. However, it's a bad fantasy matchup, as the Clippers play with the slowest pace in the league and have a top-10 defense.
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (wrist) will return to the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Portland. The team has upgraded Doncic from questionable to available, marking the end of a five-game absence for the Slovenian superstar. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) will exit the lineup on Sunday, meaning this should fully be the Doncic show. Only three teams have allowed more fantasy points to opposing point guards than the Trail Blazers in 2024-25.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) was already listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz and it has been confirmed that he won't be playing. The perennial MVP candidate was wearing street clothes ahead of the game while Jason Kidd said that he won't suit up. This will be his fifth consecutive missed game with the same wrist injury. Spencer Dinwiddie should see added minutes off of the bench while Quentin Grimes gets some extra run as well.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) is doubtful for Saturday's game in Utah. The doubtful designation is at least a step in the right direction. However, it appears the 25-year-old will miss a fifth-straight game due to a sprained right wrist. As expected, Kyrie Irving is the favorite to lead the way offensively if Doncic can't suit up, especially with Klay Thompson (foot) still out. At the same time, Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington have both averaged over 20 points in games without Doncic this season, so they could continue to thrive.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) sustained a right wrist strain and will be re-evaluated in a week. Doncic started feeling pain in his wrist in the first quarter of Tuesday's matchup with the Pelicans. He stayed in the game playing 30 minutes, but the injury might be more severe than expected. While the 25-year-old is out, Quentin Grimes, Jaden Hardy, and Spencer Dinwiddie will likely see more minutes on the court than usual.
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will play against New Orleans on Tuesday. He returns to the lineup after missing one game. Doncic produced a rare dud in his last outing and should be amped up to get back to his best against the Pelicans. Quentin Grimes will land back on the bench with Doncic's return. Grimes has had a couple of good outings recently, but he's been a starter on these occasions. The 24-year-old doesn't have fantasy value as a reserve.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 25-year-old is averaging 28.2 points, 7.8 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and 32.1% shooting from behind the arc, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. He's also been frequently mentioned on the league's official injury report nearly all season. But Doncic didn't suit up for Sunday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, his first absence of the season. If he misses another contest on Tuesday, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy could see a bump in minutes. However, both players aren't reliable fantasy options, with the duo combining for 23 points against OKC.
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will miss Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The Mavericks superstar has been dealing with a knee injury all week and will give it some rest on Sunday. Quentin Grimes will come into the starting unit as his replacement. Grimes is a good three-point shooter and amassed 15 points, four rebounds, five assists, and one steal in his first start of the campaign. Jaden Hardy and Spencer Dinwiddie might receive more action as well on Sunday, while Kyrie Irving gets a usage boost with Doncic's absence.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) has been listed as active for Saturday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Doncic had been listed as probable throughout the day and is playing as expected. The 25-year-old is dealing with a knee issue but it hasn't hampered his ability to suit up as he hasn't missed a game all season. Fantasy managers in all leagues should ensure Doncic is in their starting lineups as he will get a tasty matchup against the Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs.
