All-Star point guard Luka Doncic has cleared the NBA’s health and safety protocols and is set to return for the Dallas Mavericks in Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Doncic is one of the three Mavericks who have cleared protocols, after the Slovenian entered prior to Christmas.
The 22-year-old will likely be joined by shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. and power forward Maxi Kleber in returning for Sunday’s game.
Doncic is averaging 25.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.5 assists this season for the Mavericks but has not played since December 10.
The 2020 and 2021 All-Star aggravated a sprained left ankle in a loss to the Indiana Pacers on December 10 and missed the next five games before entering protocols.
Doncic has subsequently missed the Mavericks’ past 10 games with the side going 5-5 to hold a 17-18 record for the season.
