Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic has 'sore' neck after hard fall, hopeful he'll play Sunday

DALLAS -- Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic said his neck was "pretty sore" due to a hard fall after a drive to the basket during Thursday's 109-101 loss to the Phoenix Suns, but he was optimistic that he would not miss any time due to the injury.

Doncic landed on his back after absorbing contact from Suns center Bismack Biyombo on a drive to the basket with 1:02 remaining in the third quarter. During the ensuing timeout, Doncic was hunched over on the bench while grabbing the back of his neck.
