Luka Dončić (heel) and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) are out as the Mavericks face the Clippers. Dallas looks to maintain momentum despite key absences.
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks will be without Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving when they face the LA Clippers on Thursday night.
Dončić remains sidelined with a left heel contusion that has kept him out since Sunday’s win over the Golden State Warriors, where he recorded a 45-point, 11-rebound, 13-assist triple-double. Irving, who had been listed as questionable with right shoulder soreness, has also been ruled out.
The Mavericks will be eager to regain their superstar talents when they are cleared to play. Dončić has averaged 28.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.2 assists this season, while Irving has averaged 23.9 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.7 rebounds.
