Is Luka Doncic playing tonight? Latest injury update for Mavericks at Spurs, March 15

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic will miss his third straight game with a thigh injury on March 15. He suffered the injury in the March 8 loss to the Pelicans, and he has been ruled out a full 24 hours before every game since. The same happened ahead of Wednesday’s contest against the Spurs in San Antonio.

The Mavs have lost three straight and nine of their last 12 games to sink to 34-35 on the season and ninth in the Western Conference standings. They are clinging to a spot in the Play-In Tournament and just one game up on the Jazz and Pelicans, who currently sit 11th and 12th, and would be in the lottery.

The Mavericks' injuries are beginning to pile up as their struggles continue. Here is a look at all the latest updates ahead of Wednesday’s game in San Antonio.

Doncic was again ruled out for his third straight game, but there is still hope he returns on Friday against the Lakers in a game that could decide both team’s seasons. The Mavs have won two of the first three meetings against LA, so the tiebreaker is on the line, and the two teams currently have identical records. Number 77 did travel with his team to San Antonio, and he is considered day-to-day.
