DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - NBA insider Marc Stein joined the GBag Nation on Wednesday to discuss the latest on the league's return to play plan, Tim Hardaway Jr. and much more.
During the interview, Stein was also asked if he believes the Mavericks have a chance to make some noise when the NBA resumes in Orlando on July 31?
"When the Mavs finally do get to thinking about basketball. I think they are hopeful ... Luka's (Doncic) hand was messed up when play stopped. He wasn't playing at full capacity. So, on that score, you'd think his hand is in much better shape now. That was not a small thing. But again, it's just so hard to forecast fitness wise how everyone is going to look when they get back."
We, in fact, do know that Doncic's hand injury has fully recovered, thanks to team owner Mark Cuban.
"Luka's hand was hurt, right? Now it's not hurt," Cuban revealed in an interview with Frank Isola on SiriusXM radio. "When (Doncic and Porzingis) play together and we have a full squad, we're really good you know? And the confidence in our guys is great."
Despite Doncic's hand injury, he's still working to get back into shape. Meanwhile, his teammate, Kristaps Porzingis, is already getting prepared for the season to resume.
