According to sources, Luka Doncic is unlikely to play in the second game of the Utah Jazz series as he continues to recover from a strained left calf.
Sources said Doncic would have to make a huge improvement in the next 24 hours to be cleared to play.
Doncic did light shooting for the second day in a row, but his status for Game 2 was not yet known, as he was still recovering from a strained left calf.
Kidd said that yesterday was another good day, and that today he was back on the court, so that was a plus.
Doncic strained his calf during the regular-season finale and has not participated in a practice since.
In the last few days, Doncic has been jogging on the treadmill and riding the exercise bike. He started shooting on Saturday.
During the time the media was allowed to observe Sunday, Doncic worked in the weight room before doing light shooting on the floor. He started with stand-still shooting and then did some off-ibble work.
After the media access period ended, the speaker system continued to play music from the country of Slovenia.
Dallas lost the first game of the series to the Jazz.
Kidd said that they had to go forward if he can't play. We have to go that way if it happens in Game 2. Sometimes sport can be that way.
Injuries come at the wrong time. Luka had an injury that came at the wrong time. We understand what the situation is and we are all professionals. We feel better if he is on the floor, but that doesn't mean we're going to win games. Hopefully, he can get on the floor soon.
