Sun Dec 120:02Luka Doncic Returns To Action Sunday
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (wrist) will return to the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Portland. The team has upgraded Doncic from questionable to available, marking the end of a five-game absence for the Slovenian superstar. Kyrie Irving (shoulder) will exit the lineup on Sunday, meaning this should fully be the Doncic show. Only three teams have allowed more fantasy points to opposing point guards than the Trail Blazers in 2024-25.

Sat Nov 3020:08Luka Doncic Will Remain Out Against Jazz
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) was already listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz and it has been confirmed that he won't be playing. The perennial MVP candidate was wearing street clothes ahead of the game while Jason Kidd said that he won't suit up. This will be his fifth consecutive missed game with the same wrist injury. Spencer Dinwiddie should see added minutes off of the bench while Quentin Grimes gets some extra run as well.

Fri Nov 2921:07Luka Doncic Unlikely To Play Against Utah
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) is doubtful for Saturday's game in Utah. The doubtful designation is at least a step in the right direction. However, it appears the 25-year-old will miss a fifth-straight game due to a sprained right wrist. As expected, Kyrie Irving is the favorite to lead the way offensively if Doncic can't suit up, especially with Klay Thompson (foot) still out. At the same time, Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington have both averaged over 20 points in games without Doncic this season, so they could continue to thrive.

Thu Nov 2116:30Luka Doncic Expected To Miss At Least A Week
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) sustained a right wrist strain and will be re-evaluated in a week. Doncic started feeling pain in his wrist in the first quarter of Tuesday's matchup with the Pelicans. He stayed in the game playing 30 minutes, but the injury might be more severe than expected. While the 25-year-old is out, Quentin Grimes, Jaden Hardy,and Spencer Dinwiddie will likely see more minutes on the court than usual.

Tue Nov 1918:57Luka Doncic Returns To Action Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will play against New Orleans on Tuesday. He returns to the lineup after missing one game. Doncic produced a rare dud in his last outing and should be amped up to get back to his best against the Pelicans. Quentin Grimes will land back on the bench with Doncic's return. Grimes has had a couple of good outings recently, but he's been a starter on these occasions. The 24-year-old doesn't have fantasy value as a reserve.

Mon Nov 1818:02Luka Doncic May Miss Another Game On Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 25-year-old is averaging 28.2 points, 7.8 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and 32.1% shooting from behind the arc, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. He's also been frequently mentioned on the league's official injury report nearly all season. But Doncic didn't suit up for Sunday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, his first absence of the season. If he misses another contest on Tuesday, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy could see a bump in minutes. However, both players aren't reliable fantasy options, with the duo combining for 23 points against OKC.

Sun Nov 1718:25Luka Doncic Out On Sunday
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will miss Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The Mavericks superstar has been dealing with a knee injury all week and will give it some rest on Sunday. Quentin Grimes will come into the starting unit as his replacement. Grimes is a good three-point shooter and amassed 15 points, four rebounds, five assists, and one steal in his first start of the campaign. Jaden Hardy and Spencer Dinwiddie might receive more action as well on Sunday, while Kyrie Irving gets a usage boost with Doncic's absence.

Doncic had been listed as probable throughout the day and is playing as expected. The 25-year-old is dealing with a knee issue but it hasn't hampered his ability to suit up as he hasn't missed a game all season.

Sat Nov 1611:46Luka Doncic Expected To Suit Up Versus The Spurs
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is expected to play in Saturday night's game against the Spurs. It seems Doncic has been listed on the injury report for something all season. However, he hasn't missed a game. With that in mind, the 25-year-old has averaged nearly a triple-double versus San Antonio throughout his career (21 games), making him not only a must-start in redraft formats, but also a top DFS option on Saturday night.

As expected, Doncic will play after being listed as probable coming into this game due to a right knee contusion. Doncic has been banged up at times throughout the season, but that hasn't stopped him from playing big minutes for the Mavs. He's coming off a 31-point performance on Tuesday and should be in all starting lineups ahead of tip-off on Thursday.

Tue Nov 1221:13Luka Doncic Cleared To Play Against The Warriors
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is good to go for Tuesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. He was listed as probable heading into this one. However, Doncic was downgraded to a game-time decision hours before the contest. Fortunately, fantasy managers will have the multi-time All-Star in the lineup, although that means Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy won't be worth starting.

Tue Nov 1220:42Luka Doncic Now A Game-Time Decision
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is now considered a game-time decision heading into Tuesday's matchup with Golden State. The multi-time All-Star was initially listed as probable, so most assumed he'd be out there. However, he's in danger of missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. If Doncic can't get on the floor, Kyrie Irving would take over most of the ball-handling duties, with Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy in line for more work and scoring chances.

Mon Nov 1118:57Luka Doncic Probable Versus The Warriors
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is probable heading into Tuesday's meeting with the Warriors. This is his second time listed on the injury report because of a left groin strain. However, it didn't keep Doncic off the floor for Sunday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. He logged 40 minutes in that one, so he should see his usual workload versus Golden State, barring a setback. Keep him starting in all fantasy formats.

Sat Nov 923:02Luka Doncic Dealing With A Groin Injury
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets. The multi-time All-Star amassed 30 points, seven assists, and seven boards in Friday's loss to the Suns. However, he popped up on the injury report because of a groin strain, so it's possible he won't be on the court on Sunday. If that's the case, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson should pick up most of the slack on the scoring end. In addition, Jaden Hardy could find himself in the starting lineup and be worth streaming in deeper fantasy setups.

Tue Oct 2216:28Luka Doncic Cleared For Thursday's Season Opener
According to Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News, Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (calf) said he is ready to play Thursday in the season opener against the Spurs. Doncic missed all preseason with a left calf contusion, but the injury was considered minor. The 25-year-old also mentioned that his calf feels "perfect." Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as there should be no restrictions on Doncic for the Mavs first regular season contest.

Thu Oct 1709:12Luka Doncic Returns To Full Practice
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (calf) had his first full practice in two weeks on Wednesday. He has been rehabbing a left calf contusion that Doncic sustained in training camp. According to Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, Doncic did "really, really well" on Wednesday, but it's unlikely that Doncic will be on the court on Thursday when Dallas wraps up its preseason with a game against Milwaukee. The losing finalists from last season begin the 2024-25 campaign on Oct. 24 versus San Antonio, so there's still a good amount of time left for Doncic to work his way into game shape.

Thu Oct 308:50Luka Doncic Expected To Be Available For Season Opener
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (calf) is expected to be ready for the start of the season. Dallas ruled him out for at least a week with a left calf contusion on Wednesday. However, sources have told ESPN's Tim MacMahon that there is "no concern" about Doncic being ready for opening night. Dallas begins the campaign on Oct. 24 versus San Antonio. Doncic is coming off a hugely successful season and is poised to continue dominating in 2024-25. However, he's yet to play more than 72 games in an NBA season, so it's likely fantasy managers will have to do without him for a stretch at some point.

Wed Oct 217:58Luka Doncic Will Be Re-Evaluated In A Week For Bruised Calf
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) will be sidelined for at least one week after sustaining a left calf contusion during a team workout, the Dallas Mavericks announced on Wednesday. The injury, however, is not expected to impact his readiness for the start of the upcoming NBA season. Doncic will be re-evaluated in a week, with the Mavericks' preseason opener against the Memphis Grizzlies set for October 7. During the 2023-2024 season, Doncic was a standout performer, averaging 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. He also earned a spot on the All-NBA First Team and played a pivotal role in leading the Mavericks to the NBA Finals.

Sun Jun 2321:41Luka Doncic Uncertain For Pre-Olympic Qualifier
According to NBA reporter Grant Afseth, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee, ankle, chest) is uncertain to participate in the pre-Olympic qualifying tournament. The multi-time All-Star finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging a career-high 33.9 points, 9.8 assists, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. He played nearly as well in the postseason. However, Doncic battled various injuries while leading the Mavs to the NBA finals, including a thoracic contusion that required pain-killing injections. The Slovenian National Team's medical staff will determine if he's healthy enough to play. But there hasn't been anything to suggest Doncic won't be ready when the 2024-25 season commences in October, so managers should continue to expect him to go within the first few picks of fantasy drafts.
