He entered the game on the injury report listed as questionable due to his knee sprain but also with left ankle soreness.
“On the last play, when I split two defenders, obviously nobody touched me,” Doncic said sarcastically. “I hurt my knee again, but I’m just trying to battle out there, man. We got a win. That’s all that matters.” The Mavericks' physical play and rebounding advantage proved decisive, allowing them to overcome Doncic's limited mobility. However, regardless of how the game is being officiated, the team is prepared to adapt to a finesse approach as well.Oklahoma City’s a really good team and they were physical, and if it’s going to be physical, we’re up for it. Maybe in the past, we weren’t, but this is a different team.
“Someone’s got to pick him up,” Kidd said of Doncic. “And it’s not just Kai. It’s the other guys Timmy has been great for us. Josh was big for us off the bench. That’s what makes the beauty of sport, that it’s a team. This is not golf, where we just have a player and caddie.
