The Mavericks had a strong 2-1 trip before returning home Wednesday to spank the New York Knicks 129-114.
What all that means is that they have survived Luka Donu010diu0107’s sprained right wrist. Actually, they’ve done more than survive. They prospered.
They moved up in the Western Conference standings as the season nears the one-quarter mark.
That said, they need him back.
And the return might be close on the horizon.
Coach Jason Kidd said before the Knicks’ game that Luka has continued individual workouts and that, although the team has not been able to practice because of travel days and game frequency, he’s getting good reports.
