Luka Doncic is coming off a stellar string of performances for the Dallas Mavericks. Most notably, Doncic scored a historical 73 points in Dallas' January 26th game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Mavericks are preparing for another contest against  the Sacramento Kings, but is Doncic healthy enough to play?

Luka Doncic injury status vs. Kings

Doncic was initially listed as questionable for Saturday night's contest due to right ankle soreness, per the NBA's afternoon injury report for January 27th. Fortunately, Doncic is healthy enough to suit up in the contest and be made available, per Joey Mistretta of ClutchPoints.

The superstar point guard has been vital in the Mavericks' Western Conference push. Doncic averages a superb 34.6 points per game, which ranks him just below Joel Embiid's league-leading mark. Moreover, the 24-year-old dishes 9.2 assists and grabs 8.6 rebounds a night.

Even if Doncic isn't at his 100 percent in the game, Dallas still has some pieces that can get help him and the job done. Fourth-year guard Josh Green scored 21 points during the Mavs-Hawks game on Friday. If he catches fire, Dallas will have a reliable stream of offense.

In addition, veteran guard Dante Exum is a shaken can ready to explode. Exum erupted for 26 points, four rebounds, and three assists on December 12th, 2023 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is an X-factor who could have a large impact to help alleviate the workload on Doncic.

Meanwhile, the Kings want to keep their momentum going after a one-point victory over the Golden State Warriors on January 25th. Can a potentially undermanned Mavs squad find a way to get the victory at home on Saturday? Tip-off is at 8:00 PM CST.
