The Mavericks are currently 20-15 as they have dropped to the seventh seed in the Western Conference. It will be on Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson to keep the team afloat until Doncic's return and give them a shot at making a deep playoff run this season.

Luka Doncic is reportedly expected to miss an "extended period of time" after suffering a calf injury during the Timberwolves-Mavericks game.
