The story is Luka spraining is left ankle 3 minutes in and leaving for the night. Spencer Dinwiddie is trying to amend the story as he did a fair Luka impression 20-4-6. His 11th career 20 pt half (3rd w/Mavs inc 22 at CHI this yr) Mavs lead PHX 54-48. 2nd half soon @971TheFreak – 11:19 PM

This certainly isn’t the primary concern after Luka Doncic sprained his left ankle, but he will slip to second behind Joel Embiid among NBA scoring leaders. The scoreless 3-minute outing trims Doncic’s ppg from 33.8 to 33.0. Embiid is averaging 33.4 ppg. – 10:58 PM

Finney-Smith picked up Paul full court after making a 3.
In the past, they would’ve either to find a way to get Paul the ball, especially with Devin Booker out, or have someone else bring it up and stagnant.

Penny Hardaway just got hit with a technical foul by referee Pat Adams. Think he wanted to get it, the way he kept yelling at Adams. Spent the rest of this timeout waiting to yell some more at him. Pretty sure it’s the first of his coaching career. – 8:22 PM

Among Western Conference guards for All-Star, Devin Booker ranked 5th in media voting, 7th in player voting and 10th in fan voting. Gotta think those ranks would be higher if not for the time missed pic.twitter.com/75Cn6hff7H – 8:08 PM

Luka Dončić was named an All-Star Game starter tonight. He ties Ro Blackman for second most all-star appearances by a Mavs player at 4 and his 3rd start surpasses the 2 ASGs that Dirk started. 4 time all-stars before turning 24 are Luka, Kobe, LeBron, Shaq, Isiah & Anthony Davis. – 7:38 PM
