Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic could be unavailable if the Los Angeles Lakers advance to a Western Conference second-round series against Dallas, according to a report from Hoops Wire.
The outlet indicated that Doncic’s status for the potential matchup is in doubt, though no additional details about the nature of his possible absence were provided. Both teams still need to secure first-round victories before any meeting can take place.
Doncic, a four-time All-Star and the centerpiece of the Mavericks’ offense, averaged 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 9.8 assists during the regular season. His presence—or absence—would significantly impact Dallas’s postseason outlook.
Los Angeles, led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, finished the regular season seventh in the Western Conference and is attempting to reach the conference semifinals for the second time in three years.
Further updates on Doncic’s availability are expected as the playoffs progress.
