DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Mavericks are in the playoffs for the third straight season, but they'll likely have to go to battle without superstar Luka Doncic to begin their first round series against the Utah Jazz this weekend.
"We'll see," Kidd said when asked by reporters on Tuesday, including 105.3 The Fan's Kevin Gray, if Doncic has any hope of playing in Game 1. “He’s in great spirits today. We’ll see how his body feels tomorrow. We’ll prepare with him and then we’ll also prepare without him. And we all hope that he's able to go in Game 1."
