Mavericks: Luka Doncic signs endorsement deal with Panini America

The Dallas Mavericks are in a fight to avoid the play-in tournament down the stretch. Luka Doncic continues to produce MVP numbers, but the Mavs sit seventh in the Western Conference. They need to finish in the top six to advance to the playoffs and avoid the play-in. Doncic will have to be the team’s offensive engine down and push them up the standings down the stretch.

Dallas has the fourth easiest remaining schedule in the NBA, according to Tankathon. The Portland Trail Blazers are just a half a game up on the Mavericks but have the seventh toughest slate. It figures to be a wild race over the final 15 games.

Luka has taken his game to another level in his third NBA season. He earned another endorsement deal and the news of his newest partnership broke on April 22. Here is a look at his latest pact.
