Man, you won’t believe the day I had trying to figure out if Luka Doncic was gonna play tonight. It’s been a rollercoaster, let me tell you!
So, first thing this morning, I jumped on my computer. I really wanted to know if Luka is back on the court. That guy’s been out for a bit, and honestly, the Mavericks just aren’t the same without him. He was absent for five games, and the Mavs really felt it. They struggled a lot.
I started digging around, and the first thing I saw was that he’d be back for Sunday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Great news! But today isn’t Sunday, so I had to keep looking. There is a report from Marc Stein, but I am not sure who he is, so I ignored that.
Then I found something saying the Mavericks are playing the Denver Nuggets on January 14, 2025. Okay, that’s something, but it doesn’t help me with tonight. This search is way harder than I thought it would be.
Moving on, I hit a bunch of reports talking about his injury. Apparently, he hurt himself in a game against the Timberwolves. And there’s this one report, it’s from the NBA’s official injury report, saying Luka’s got some soreness in his left Achilles. He’s “questionable” for the game, which means it’s a toss-up. There is another one from Tim, but it didn’t say much. There is another one mentioned Grant Afseth recently took to X, but I don’t use X.
But get this – according to the Dallas’ PR team, he is playing tonight! I was so pumped when I saw that. Game 2 against Boston, and our boy Luka is in!
Here’s a quick rundown of what I found:
- Initial Reports: Luka was out for a few games, will return on Sunday’s game.
- Upcoming Game: Mavericks vs. Nuggets on January 14, 2025.
- Injury: Left Achilles soreness, “questionable” status.
- Confirmation: Dallas’ PR team says Luka will play tonight in Game 2 vs. Boston.
So, after all that searching and a bit of a headache, it looks like Luka Doncic is playing tonight! It’s gonna be a great game, and I can’t wait to see him back in action. Go Mavs!
