No major concerns, as was clear after game last night.
Mavs have to submit injury report by 5 p.m. MT with Luka’s official status for tomorrow vs. Jazz. Expect it will come well before then. – 11:57 AM

What Luka Doncic’s history of ankle injuries says about possible return to Mavericks now dallasnews.com/sports/maveric…11:16 AM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Over the last month, Julius Randle ranks:
* 1st the NBA in rebounds
* 5th in points (behind only Dame, Doncic, Tatum and LeBron)
* 4th in made 3PTs (behind Buddy Hield, McCollum and Lillard).
* and has dished out more dimes than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

With Luka unfortunately getting hurt last night, his streak of consecutive 10+ games was snapped.
That puts the active list as…
1- LeBron 1,135
2- KD 105
3- Embiid 104
If they play all 82 & score 10+ each night, KD or Embiid could match LeBron early in the 2035-36 season. pic.twitter.com/jEfV40WWY510:54 AM

Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA
The 2023 NBA MVP race is wide open.
In October, Luka Doncic had the best odds. Then, in November, Giannis Antetokounmpo took the lead. In December, Jayson Tatum was the favorite. Now, Nikola Jokic has the best odds.

Spencer Dinwiddie on Luka Doncic’s ankle injury: “It ain’t no cause for where we’re like, ‘Oh no, we’re about to go on a 10-game stretch without LD.’ He’s going to heal up nicely. He’s a young kid. Although the likes to think he’s old, he’s not.”

It won’t go into the books as a win w/o Luka since he played the first 3:21 before getting hurt, but this will go into the books as arguably, the Mavs most satisfying win of the season. Hopefully Luka’s ankle isn’t too bad, but the rest of the team proved something to themselves – 1:12 AM
Mark Followill @MFollowill
The 4 games the Mavs have won on national TV exclusives have all been pretty dramatic. Golden State, two vs the Lakers and 99-95 tonight in Phoenix. After Luka was injured and his night ended a little over 3 mins into the game, Spencer Dinwiddie provided a season high 36 pts. – 12:59 AM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
What does my boy @MrChrisArnold always say? “Ya Never Know.” Mavs get monster game from Dinwiddie (Mavs hi tying 36 w/6 rebs & 9 assts), 1st dbl-dbl of the season from DFS (18-12) and a clutch off reb/2 FTs from Powell to win in PHX for 1st time since Nov 2019. And all w/o Luka. – 12:58 AM
The Vertical @YahooSportsNBA
Spencer Dinwiddie went to WORK in Luka’s absence to lead the Mavs to a win over the Suns 🔥

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Monty Williams hit the nail on the head with the Suns’ inability to stop this Mavs team, even without Luka: At some point, they need to “sit down and guard” the guy with the ball. They’ve continually been unable to do so against Dallas – 12:52 AM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Happy for Finney-Smith, Dinwiddie and Powell, all of whom played out of their minds. And the defense was legit in the first scoreless game of Luka’s career. Winning without him (for all but 3-plus minutes) is going to do wonders for this team’s overall confidence. – 12:39 AM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Big win for the Mavs after Luka Doncic’s early exit. Heck of a time for Spencer Dinwiddie to come up with his best performance in a Mavs uniform. – 12:37 AM

That’s a hell of a win.
Really hope Luka is ok.
Dinwiddie was huge.
Powell huge late. – 12:35 AM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Powell’s hustle literally saved a great effort by Dallas night. Technically the Mavs are still 0-5 in games w/o Doncic, but we all know this game was won w/o Doncic. – 12:34 AM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Dwight Powell with two massive free throws on top of a couple key offensive rebounds. It’s been a terrific game for a lot of Mavericks with Luka out. They are up 99-95 with 9.8 left. – 12:34 AM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Don’t think the Mavs’ bench will get fined this time, but they’re up and so into this game like last year’s playoffs.
They might downplay the effect of Luka’s injury after the game, but they are *hype* for these last few minutes. – 12:15 AM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Dinwiddie banks in the Luka stepback. Timeout Suns. Only a nine-point deficit with 3:32 to go but that felt like the dagger. – 12:14 AM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Spencer Dinwiddie having a terrific night with 30 points in 31 minutes through three quarters. He’s also got eight assists and six rebounds. Mavericks are up 76-69 going into the fourth and have a great shot to steal this one without Luka. – 11:55 PM

The story is Luka spraining is left ankle 3 minutes in and leaving for the night. Spencer Dinwiddie is trying to amend the story as he did a fair Luka impression 20-4-6. His 11th career 20 pt half (3rd w/Mavs inc 22 at CHI this yr) Mavs lead PHX 54-48. 2nd half soon @971TheFreak11:19 PM

the mavericks would have the league’s best offense (120.4 off rating) if you only counted the minutes with luka on the floor. they’d have the league’s worst offense (107.8) if you only counted the minutes without him. you don’t see margins this big very often. – 10:32 PM

Doncic got his feet tangled with Cam Johnson. Just when it seemed things couldn’t get much worse for the Mavs, Doncic limps off. – 10:22 PM

No – 10:21 PM

Lots of trust in Johnson to give him the Doncic assignment. Allows Bridges to be in a help spot off the traps.
Mavs’ defense looks as advertised so far! – 10:19 PM

What a difference a year and a fully healthy, in-shape first half of the season makes for Luka Doncic:
1st in All-Star starter voting for player and media ballots, 2nd for fans this season.
Last year, Luka finished outside the top 2 in all categories for West’s 2 guard spots. – 8:34 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished 4th in fan, player & media voting.
Only behind Luka, Curry and Ja, three of the biggest superstars in the NBA.
Ahead of Dame, Booker, Edwards and Fox.

There have now been 17 games this season in which an NBA player has scored at least 50 points … including Donovan Mitchell’s 71-point game and 60-pointers for Luka Dončić and Damian Lillard.
There were 19 50-point games last season.

Luka Doncic’s TSD is from the last, lone game that finished before the March 11 shutdown. What a surreal and haunting time that we never fully grasped (and probably still don’t). pic.twitter.com/AD4A7Q4cYi1:31 PM

More on this storyline

Coach Jason Kidd didn’t provide specifics on Doncic’s status after the game: “We’ll have probably more information once we get to Utah” on Friday. But Dinwiddie didn’t appear concerned after his leading production. “I don’t know if he’ll be back next game, or if he’ll miss a couple or something like that,” Dinwiddie said, “but it ain’t no cause for where we’re like, ‘Oh no, we’re about to go on a 10-game stretch without LD.’ He’s going to heal up nicely. He’s a young kid. Although he likes to think he’s old, he’s not.” -via Dallas Morning News / January 27, 2023
Tim MacMahon: This certainly isn’t the primary concern after Luka Doncic sprained his left ankle, but he will slip to second behind Joel Embiid among NBA scoring leaders. The scoreless 3-minute outing trims Doncic’s ppg from 33.8 to 33.0. Embiid is averaging 33.4 ppg. -via Twitter @espn_macmahon / January 27, 2023
Luka Doncic sprained his left ankle, stepping on a defender’s foot while pivoting in the post, about three minutes into the first quarter. He limped down the court before director of player health and performance Casey Smith walked him back to the locker room. Game-ending injury to the 23-year-old superstar on top of the Mavericks’ five-losses-in-six-games skid? No doubt all fans’ worst fear. -via Dallas Morning News / January 27, 2023
