In Game 1 against OKC, Doncic shot 1-for-8 from three, extending his postseason slump to 17-of-75 in seven games.
It also seemed clear, at least visually, that Doncic began Tuesday night’s Game 1 of the second round against Oklahoma City moving somewhat better,While missing a 3-pointer, Dort stuck out his right foot. While trying to contest the shot without fouling, Doncic tripped over Dort’s foot and was sent sprawling to the court.Doncic got up limping — favoring his lower left leg, not his sprained right knee — and complained to referees, to no avail. Doncic before the trip: 2-3 from the field.
Kidd’s answers about Doncic’s level of health are unsurprising because the Mavericks are in a no-win situation when it comes to Doncic. Dort is coming off a first-round series against New Orleans in which he helped limit Brandon Ingram to 14.3 points per game on 34% shooting.Doncic called Dort one of the NBA’s three best perimeter defenders, adding that Boston’s Jrue Holiday and the Mavericks’ Derrick Jones Jr. are the others.
