Luka Doncic returns to face Spurs

Doncic returns to Mavericks’ lineup after missing 4 games

DALLAS (AP) Reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Luka Doncic returned to the Dallas Mavericks’ lineup on Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs after missing four games because of a sprained right ankle.

Doncic leads the league this season with eight triple-doubles. He entered the game averaging 29.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game.

The injury occurred Dec. 14 against the Miami Heat after Doncic had played only 1:40. Dallas lost that game and was 2-2 in the four games he missed entirely. The Mavericks lost their most recent game on Dec. 22 at Toronto after blowing a 30-point lead.

Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said there would be no restriction on minutes for Doncic.

“We’ll see how things go. With it being a national (television) game and longer timeouts, that helps. He practiced (Tuesday) without issue.”
