PHOENIX – Clarity was tough to come by when it comes to the left calf injury that has sidelined Luka Donu010diu0107.
The Mavericks’ superstar point guard “will be evaluated sometime in the future,” coach Jason Kidd said before the Mavericks opened a four-game trip against the Phoenix Suns Friday night.
The Mavericks also played without Dereck Lively II, who is out with a left hip contusion.
“Injuries are injuries,” Kidd said. “He’s had a couple this year. We’ve played without him. Next-man-up mentality and that’s what we’re facing now, not just with Luka but with D-Live out.
