Jason Kidd provided an important update on Luka Doncic's injury status after the Mavericks' practice on Saturday.

Luka Doncic and P.J. Washington are expected to miss Monday’s game against the Clippers, but the Mavericks remain optimistic about their availability for the regular season.

Luka Doncic has yet to play this preseason due to a calf contusion he suffered in a workout prior to training camp. He tried to play through it in practice but reported tightness in it and the Dallas Mavericks decided to show caution by keeping him out.
