The Mavs are listing Luka Dončić as questionable for tomorrow night’s game vs Detroit at American Airlines Center. He sprained his left ankle early in Thursday’s game at Phoenix. – 6:18 PM

Thanks to Brian Sperry from our broadcast crew for this nugget (@Mark Followill, @Derek Harper and @Chuck Cooperstein will all attest to his excellence):
Last night, Spencer joined Luka as the only players in franchise history to record back-to-back 35 points/8 assist games. pic.twitter.com/cHsGeI6MW9 – 1:26 PM

Spencer Dinwiddie after Mavs’ loss to Jazz: “We definitely left some money on the board as a group.”
But not on his contract ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Spencer Dinwiddie made money and buckets, but Mavericks fall (again) without Luka Doncic: dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 12:44 AM

Mavs can’t solve the official riddle of no Luka (Now 0-6) nor the regular season riddle of Salt Lake City where they are now 0-12 dating to Apr 2016. They gave it a hckuva run in the 2nd half, cutting a 19 pt lead to 5. Holding Utah to 36% hooting in 2nd, but fall short 108-100 – 11:36 PM

FINAL: 108, Mavs 100. Utah hangs on against Luka-less Dallas, gets back to .500 overall at 26-26. Markkanen 29p/5r. Beasley 19p/4r, 5-11 from 3. Kessler 14p/11r/5b. Clarkson 14p/7r/3a. Conley 4p/11a/4s. Sexton 12p. Up next: hosting the Raptors on Feb. 1. – 11:18 PM

Jazz beat Mavs 108-100.
Pretty low possession game, a lot of half-court stuff. Jazz’s offense slowed way down in the 2H. But in the end, Dallas just doesn’t have the talent without Luka available.
Markkanen: 29 points, 5 rebs. Beasley: 19 points, 5-11 3P. – 11:18 PM

Jazz up 66-48 at the half. Jazz are playing great defense against the Luka-less Mavs… they’re obviously not good, but I like what they’ve done anyway. – 10:05 PM

With Luka out, Josh Green will make his second start this season…joined by Dinwiddie, Hardaway Jr., Finney-Smith & Powell. Utah is starting a front line of Markkanen, Walker Kessler & Kelly Olynyk, who is returning from an 8 game absence. Backcourt is Conley & Clarkson. – 9:03 PM

Jazz coach Will Hardy before facing Luka Doncic-less Mavs: “Luka’s one of a kind, and you can’t replicate him, but Spencer Dinwiddie does a pretty good job of getting close in terms of their style of play. He’s a heck of a pick-and-roll player, a heck of an isolation player. ” – 7:59 PM

Mavs PR: Luka Dončić (left ankle sprain) is questionable for tomorrow night’s game against the Pistons. Maxi Kleber (right hamstring tear) and Christian Wood (left thumb fracture) will remain out. -via Twitter @MavsPR / January 29, 2023
Callie Caplan: Luka Doncic (left ankle sprain) took the court during his usual pregame warm-up window to do a watered-down version of his typical shooting routine. No pivots, stepbacks or high impact, but has worked for about 20 minutes on midrange, 3s and free throws. pic.twitter.com/QPig0A8pff -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / January 28, 2023
Callie Caplan: Back in Salt Lake City on Luka Doncic injury watch before Mavs-Jazz. Is it the first round again? Luka (already ruled out with left ankle sprain) didn’t participate in shootaround, but reiterated “day-to-day” on his way out. No boot/injury support and no noticeable limp. -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / January 28, 2023
