Doncic, who leads the NBA in points scored with an average 33.4 ppg, missed that win and Friday’s over the Kings. He has been out since Feb. 2 with a right heel injury, but is expected to return Saturday night according to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes. "We're just trying to figure each other out — personalities, meshing well, guys trying to figure out their roles and minutes," Irving said after Friday's triumph."It's going to take some time to get where we need as a team but I feel we are treading in the right place.for the change."We both can play off the ball. For me, it'll be a learning process for sure. Outside of my first season, I didn't play off the ball.
While that doesn’t seem like the likely outcome tonight, it’s what Sacramento will hope for as the team clings to its No. 3 Western Conference spot with Dallas right on their heels.
