Dallas Mavericks' Luka Dončić Questionable for Game 2 of NBA Finals
Mavs Star's Status Uncertain Due to Injury
Celtics Take Game 1 in Dominating Fashion
Dallas, Texas - Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić is questionable to play in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday against the Boston Celtics due to an unspecified injury. The news comes as a major blow to the Mavericks, who are already facing an uphill battle against the Eastern Conference champions.
In Game 1, the Celtics cruised to an 18-point win and a 1-0 series lead. Dallas appeared calm and confident going into Game 2, but the Celtics' depth proved too much for the Mavs. The Luka-Kyrie duo struggled, and the Celtics ground the Mavs bigs into submission.
After the devastating loss, Dallas coach Jason Kidd said he is not worried about his team's performance in Game 1. "We've been here before," he said. "We know what we need to do. We need to play our game and execute. We'll be ready for Game 2."
The Mavericks will need to find a way to limit the Celtics' offense in Game 2 if they want to even the series. Boston shot 51.7% from the field and 40% from three-point range in Game 1. Dončić's status will be a major factor in determining the outcome of the game.
