OKLAHOMA CITY – Luka Donu010diu0107 will be back in the starting lineup Sunday, and Tim Hardaway Jr. and Maxi Kleber also will return to action when the Mavericks visit the Thunder (6 p.m. tipoff).
Kristaps Porzingis (rest) will not play against OKC.
Coach Jason Kidd said the Mavericks will use the three returnees from health and safety protocols. However, their minutes will be limited to some degree, he said.
“We have a limit on minutes,” Kidd said. “Hopefully we’ll get them as close as we can to those minutes the first night back. It’s kind of like a Christmas gift, I would suppose, being able to get three guys back who play heavy minutes.
