Luka Dončić (wrist) is doubtful and Klay Thompson (foot) is out for Mavericks vs. Jazz. Jason Kidd discusses their progress and team adjustments.
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks are set to begin a road back-to-back against the Utah Jazz on Saturday before facing the Portland Trail Blazers. Luka Dončić’s and Klay Thompson’s injury statuses remain a focus before facing Utah.
Dončić, listed as doubtful for Saturday’s game, participated in practice Friday as he works his way back from a right wrist sprain. He did 5-on-5 with the reserves during the return to competition process. After not traveling with the team on their recent three-game road trip, Dončić went through a pre-game workout before Wednesday’s 129-114 victory over the New York Knicks with his wrist taped. Thompson has been ruled out for a third straight game when dealing with left foot plantar fascia.
