Doncic “He seems to be doing better, so that's good news,” Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle says

The Dallas Mavs say Luka Doncic, dealing with a neck strain, is feeling “better” - and the Mavericks’ daily injury report ahead of Wednesday’s Game 5 at the Los Angeles Clippers reflects that.

The Mavericks are listing their MVP Doncic as “probable” to play in the game as he gets what one source tells us is “constant care” to relieve the discomfort in his neck, an injury likely sustained in Dallas’ Game 3 loss and especially problematic in a Game 4 loss that evened the NBA Playoffs series 2-all.

“He seems to be doing better, so that's good news,” Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday. “I'm not sure how much better, but he's definitely better."

Sources say Luka Doncic is “feeling better” following a hefty dose of massage and treatment. #Mavs’ staff has been working w/Doncic around the clock for the pivotal Game 5, Wednesday night in LA. Key is to allow him to successfully plant off the left foot w/out shooting pain.
