Dallas basketball players had to admit the superiority of Memphis for the second time in three days. Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving and Christian Wood were injured and watched the game on the bench. Their teammates were powerless in the second half against the playful Grizzlies (88:104).
The 24-year-old from Ljubljana missed the second game in a row due to pain in his left thigh muscle. Irving announced two hours before the game that he would not play due to pain in his right foot. Center Christian Wood has a very similar injury.
Coach Jason Kidd said he expects all three at Tuesday’s practice to see who can play Wednesday in San Antonio. On Friday, an unfavorable away game in Los Angeles follows, the Lakers are also convulsively fighting for places that lead to additional qualifications and have only one win less than the Mavericks.
