NEW YORK – Injuries have taken a toll on a lot of teams this season, especially the Mavericks. The injury bug also has taken a bite out of the New York Knicks, who the Mavs will play Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Madison Square Garden.
And it’s threatened to throw a wrench into what was expected to be a big-time showdown between a slew of the NBA’s prime-time players.
For starters, Mavs guards Luka Doncic (broken nose) and Kyrie Irving (sprained right thumb) are listed as probable to play against the Knicks.
