Mavericks' Luka Doncic (back, ankle, knee) downgraded to questionable for Game 2 Sunday
The Dallas Mavericks downgraded Luka Doncic (back, ankle, knee) to questionable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
What It Means
Doncic has been managing knee and ankle injuries in the later stages of the NBA Playoffs, but is now reportedly dealing with a back injury as well. Videos emerged of the star wincing and grabbing at his side in the team's Saturday afternoon practices, and he has since been downgraded from probable to questionable for Sunday's game with the addition of his new back injury. His status will be critical to monitor in the leadup to tonight's 8:00 p.m. ET game.
Considering the stakes at hand, Doncic seems likely to play through anything but the most serious of injuries. He is currently projected for 56.1 FanDuel points assuming he plays, with 28.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 9.3 assists.
