Injury Report: Luka Doncic's Status vs. Warriors
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic has a right heel contusion, and will not be available against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. Doncic will not be making the trip to San Francisco, as his team will have to find a way to get their first win of the season without him.
On the season, Dallas is 0-6 without Luka Doncic, losing to the Rockets, Bulls, Cavaliers, Thunder, Blazers, and Jazz. The team has looked completely non-competitive without their MVP candidate, making this a game the Warriors must win.
At home, with their stars expected to be available, the Warriors cannot afford to drop this game against the Mavericks. Having lost their last two games, the Warriors are 1.5 games back of Dallas in the standings, and could gain some serious ground with a win in this one. Still staying afloat despite their mediocrity, the Warriors have to take advantage of games like these.
The Warriors have not announced their injury report yet for this game, but the expectation is that their stars will be available, as this is not a back-to-back situation. As previously mentioned, the Warriors have to take advantage of games like these against inferior opponents. The Mavericks have been incompetent all season when Doncic is out, making this a game the Warriors should handle with ease.
As Steph Curry has continued to preach, the time is now for this team to go on a run.
