Mavs’ injury report does not have to be submitted until 1 p.m., but Luka Doncic will not play against the Thunder tonight. He remained in Dallas when the team traveled to OKC last night. – 1:45 PM

“Making the game simple for myself, my teammates.”
Royce O’Neale doesn’t have near the usage of say Luka Doncic or Devin Booker, but he’s averaging just one turnover for his career in 26.6 minutes a game.
3.6 assists to 0.8 turnovers in 29.5 minutes with #Suns.

Strictly my opinion, not based on inside info, but I would be surprised if Doncic travels to OKC, much less plays. Mavs’ next game after tomorrow isn’t until Sunday vs. Denver. Let Doncic stay home and heal. – 12:06 AM

I don’t say this often, but Doncic has thrown 3 horrendous passes tonight. Two bounced off the rim and that one wasn’t even close to reaching Lively near the basket. – 10:13 PM

“As far as skillset and scoring-wise, yes, [Luka is better than Dirk],” Marion said on SiriusXM NBA Radio. “That’s not even a question. As far as what Dirk has done, the longevity and history, no, [Luka isn’t better than Dirk]. Dirk is a seven-foot assassin with a fadeaway, but as the whole package, that’s not even actually a relevant question honestly. Look at how much Luka is able to do on the floor.” -via Sports Illustrated / March 14, 2024

“(Luka) didn’t say a word,” Finley said. “Everybody on the sidelines, including the coaches said do not poke the bear. That’s what everybody kept saying, do not poke the bear. We had guests in the gym at the time and they were on the sidelines oohing and ahhing. It was unbelievable, I was over there and the kid couldn’t miss. I’m not talking easy shots, he was showing the whole repertoire in this five or six minute span. It was a 26-6 run by himself.” -via Booth Newspapers / March 12, 2024
