Is Luka Doncic playing tonight? Latest injury update for Mavericks at Jazz on Feb. 6

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic suffered a heel injury in Thursday’s win over the Pelicans. He drove hard to the basket and had a hard fall after colliding with Jonas Valanciunas and Brandon Ingram. The team termed it a heel contusion, and it cost him Saturday’s game against Golden State.

Doncic is not with the team on their five-game road trip, and he will miss Monday’s game in Salt Lake City against the Utah Jazz. The Mavs pulled off a blockbuster trade for Kyrie Irving on Sunday afternoon, but that deal will leave the team extremely shorthanded on Feb. 6.

Here are the latest Mavericks injury updates before taking a closer look at what is ahead and when Luka Doncic could return to the floor.
