Luka Doncic's Status for Clippers vs. Mavericks Revealed

The Dallas Mavericks are hosting the LA Clippers on Friday night in an in-season tournament matchup, and they will have their superstar Luka Doncic available. Doncic has turned in some incredible performances vs. the Clippers in his career, and nobody has scored more points against LA than Doncic since he entered the league.

This is a big game for the Clippers, as they look to avoid falling to 0-3 since acquiring James Harden. The Clippers have had a favorable schedule up until this point in the season, and it begins to get more difficult from here on out. For that reason, they certainly cannot afford to continue dropping games while figuring out how to play with Harden.

The Clippers understand this will be a process, but they also understand they need to win games during that process. This matchup against the Mavericks will be a very tough test, as a Doncic always gives the Clippers trouble, like he does to every other team in the league as well. The Mavericks are of course also a Western Conference opponent, meaning head-to-head matchups are at play for potential tiebreaker scenarios at the end of the season.

Looking for their first road win of the season, the Clippers will look to put a tally in that column when they face Dallas on the road in this one. It’s never easy beating the Mavericks in their building, especially when Doncic gets the crowd going, but the Clippers do have experience with that.
