Amid Luka Doncic injury uncertainty, Spencer Dinwiddie, Mavs boost spirits with win
Doncic exited the game in the first quarter with a left ankle sprain, but Dallas prevailed in clutch time
After Suns veteran Chris Paul scored a pair of layups in the final minute, Dwight Powell sealed the victory by corralling Tim Hardaway Jr.’s tipped offensive rebound to draw a foul with 12 seconds remaining and hit two free throws. At times throughout the season, Doncic has hobbled down the court, appeared to limp, and reacted slowly after hard falls — only to shake off the ailment or pause his exaggerations in hopes of a foul call and continued playing in good health.When he dribbled toward the paint at the 8:55 mark in the opening period, he didn’t face physical defense or take a hit from primary defender Cam Johnson.
Smith met Doncic at mid-court, and manual therapist Casey Spangler joined them when Doncic stopped to grab his ankle on the walk back to the locker room. Doncic has sprained his right ankle three times in the last three years, missing one game in January 2022, seven in January-February 2020 and four in December 2019.
