Playing without Luka Donu010diu0107 or Kristaps Porzingis on the floor is something coach Jason Kidd did by choice in the fourth quarter Monday night – with terrific results.
But he’s hoping it’s not something he has to go to out of necessity, at least with Donu010diu0107.
The superstar point guard went down clutching his left ankle with 44 seconds left in the Mavericks’ 111-101 victory over Denver, stopping the Nuggets’ five-game winning streak and avenging their blowout loss in Denver last month.
Donu010diu0107 was able to put his weight on the leg as he left the court, which was good news.
