Luka Doncic, star player for the Dallas Mavericks, has been listed as questionable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics due to a chest contusion, right knee sprain, and left ankle soreness. Despite not being fully healthy during the playoffs, Doncic has been a dominant force on the court, averaging impressive numbers in points, rebounds, and assists. He has been available for every game, but his recent downgrade to questionable is concerning, especially with the Mavericks already down 1-0 in the series.
In Game 1, Doncic played through his injuries but struggled with his shooting and playmaking. The Celtics managed to limit his impact on the game, which ultimately led to a blowout loss for the Mavericks. With Game 2 being a crucial matchup, the team will need Doncic to perform at his best to have a chance at turning the series around.
The game is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET, with the Mavericks facing a must-win situation to avoid falling behind 2-0 in the series. History shows that teams that go down 2-0 have a low chance of making a comeback, making it essential for the Mavericks to secure a victory in Game 2.
