Mavericks list Luka Doncic as questionable for Game 4 vs. Clippers with ankle sprain
The Dallas Mavericks could potentially be without Luka Doncic during Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
Doncic is listed questionable for Game 4 after he sprained his ankle during the fourth quarter of Game 3 on Friday night, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon. The 21-year-old went down after rolling his ankle while defending Kawhi Leonard on a basket drive in the third quarter.
MacMahon later added comments from head coach Rick Carlisle, who said Doncic will be a game-time decision:
After going down the tunnel and being taped up, he returned for the fourth quarter. He was visibly in pain during the quarter and re-exited the game and did not return.
Doncic underwent an MRI on Saturday, but the results have not yet been released. His questionable status for Game 4 could possibly mean it's nothing more than an ankle sprain.
The Clippers currently have a 2-1 series lead over the Mavericks after winning Game 3 by a score of 130-122. If Doncic is out for Game 4, and possibly longer, Dallas certainly will be in trouble.
Doncic is having a stellar playoffs thus far in the NBA's Orlando bubble. In Game 1 against the Clippers, the former Rookie of the Year notched 42 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and three steals.
