Los Angeles Clippers Y Dallas Mavericks They come from battle to battle from the NBA playoffs from last season. This year the issue remained the same, and the stars of both teams, Kawhi Leonard Y Paul Geroge on the Los Angeles side, and Luka Doncic on the Texan side, they are the ones who mark the destiny of each game.
The first two games were surprisingly taken by Dallas, but when the series moved to the American Airlines Center, Luka began to show signs of pain and the series was paired. Game 3 was very good for the European despite the injury beginning to show. In game 4, however, the annoyance affected him enough to have his worst playoff game in his short career NBA.
Now, the entire Mavericks franchise and Doncic himself hope that 77 can participate in a key game tomorrow at Staples Center. The injury that afflicts the Slovenian is a cervical distention It is affecting the nerves of the neck, which causes great pain and difficulty in turning the head.

Doncic’s status for Game 5 against Clippers
According to journalist Jordan Schultz of ESPN, the Mavs are working with Doncic against the clock. He has been given massages and treatment for his neck problem, adding that even though the 22-year-old feels better now, Dallas is aiming to get him to plant his left foot successfully without pain while throwing. His official status for the match is “probable”.
The Mavs coach, Rick Carlisle shared after the last game how Luka couldn’t turn or look to the left during the match. The coach stressed how difficult this is for Doncic since he is a player who relies on his peripheral vision to be more effective and dynamic on the court. Game 5 will be tomorrow starting at 10:00 p.m. ET, and Dallas can’t afford to lose Doncic for this game.
