As observed, Luka Doncic was on the bench, wearing civilian clothes. The 19-year-old rookie is out due to a strained right hip. Though there's no timeline with regard to his return, the Mavs staff revealed that the injury is not that serious. In his first season, the Slovenian teenager is averaging 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. As early as now, analysts believe that Doncic will take home the Rookie of the Year award.

Yet even without his services, the Mavs were able to notch a victory over the Clippers, 114-110, thanks to Dennis Smith Jr.'s block and various efforts from the rest of the team. Harrison Barnes led his team with 30 points and nine rebounds. JJ Barea chipped in 24 points, and DeAndre Jordan had a monster double-double with 16 points and 23 rebounds.

They now have an 11-10 record and are set to face the top teams in the Western Conference. On Tuesday, they'll go up against the Portland Trail Blazers, followed by the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, then the Houston Rockets on Saturday. By then, hopefully, Doncic is up and ready to go.
