Mavericks star Luka Doncic exited Dallas’ Thursday game against the host Phoenix Suns in the first quarter due to a sprained left ankle and was ruled out for the rest of the contest.
Doncic limped to the locker room after sustaining the injury. An X-ray was negative.
He was scoreless in three minutes of action, missing both of his shots from the floor.
Asked about Doncic’s status going forward, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said postgame, “We’ll see as we go forward here. We’ll have probably more information once we get to Utah (for a Saturday game).”
Doncic entered the game averaging a league-high 33.8 points per game to go along with 9.1 rebounds and 8.6 assists.
With Doncic sidelined, Spencer Dinwiddie scored a season-high 36 points as the Mavericks won the game 99-95.
