This performance was part of an impressive streak for Dončić, who has been averaging 29.3 points, 8.7 assists, 7.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 3.6 three-pointers per game over his last 12 games. Despite a recent left heel contusion that kept him out of practice on Wednesday, Dončić showed no signs of slowing down.
The Mavericks, under coach Jason Kidd, have been leveraging their deep roster to manage Dončić's workload effectively. Players like Kyrie Irving, Naji Marshall, P.J. Washington, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Jaden Hardy have been instrumental in running the offense and giving Dončić more rest.
However, Dončić's injury did impact his availability for the subsequent game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, December 19, as he was ruled out due to the heel contusion.
