Is Luka Doncic playing today? Timberwolves at Mavericks injury update for October 5

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic just had one of the best offseasons of his career.

He looked phenomenal in the FIBA World Cup, got in better shape, and has improved his game tremendously. This is hard to believe as Doncic was already one of the best players in the NBA, but according to teammate Dwight Powell, Doncic has got even better.

The Mavs are in Abu Dhabi for their first two preseason games against the Minnesota Timberwolves, with the first game tipping off today at 11 a.m. CT. These games are going to be a great indicator of how rookies Dereck Lively II and Grant Williams fit into the starting lineup, and Grant Williams' debut is something to keep an eye on as well.
