Dallas may be without both of its stars in Luka Doncic (lower back tightness) and Kyrie Irving (right thumb sprain), as both are listed as questionable. Doncic and Irving are new additions to the team’s injury report.
Irving sounded confident he would not miss any time with his injury, which he suffered in yesterday’s loss to the Celtics.
Kyrie Irving says he sprained his right thumb early in the loss to the Celtics. X-rays were negative. He’s wearing a brace on it but doesn’t anticipate missing time. Irving: “It's going to hurt. I don't think there's anybody in the NBA that's 100% night to night.”
