DALLAS — As the Dallas Mavericks navigate the early stages of the preseason, injury updates have become a focal point in their preparations. Following a 121-116 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, head coach Jason Kidd addressed the injury status of key players, including Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving, and Klay Thompson.

Thompson and Irving fully practiced on Tuesday ahead of their next preseason matchup—a game against the Utah Jazz on Thursday. Kidd said after Monday’s game that both players will “most likely” play in the team’s final three preseason games.

“Going forward, Klay and Kai will most likely play in the last three preseason games to get that continuity against the opponent and get some rhythm going,” Kidd said.
