Did the Dallas Mavericks just steal from the Milwaukee Bucks?
The Mavs may have not used a WWE pregame routine, but they welcomed superstar wing Luka Doncic back to the rotation with a playful beatdown in the tunnel all the same:
Wecome back, Luka Doncic 😂

Doncic missed Dallas' last four games after suffering a mild ankle sprain against the Miami Heat on Dec. 14, but he is back on the floor for tonight's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
Dallas went 2-2 in his absence, including wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers in a tough stretch of Eastern Conference foes. While the Mavs managed to hold their own without Doncic on the floor, they will certainly be glad that he is back in the lineup.
Doncic currently ranks second in player efficiency rating (31.7) and third in value over replacement player (3.2), according to Basketball Reference. He enters Thursday night's contest averaging 29.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 8.9 assists through 25 games.
The 20-year-old has already cemented himself as a leading MVP candidate and legitimate superstar, and his teammates clearly have something extra in the tank as they take on the Spurs.
