Luka Doncic put up his third 50+ point game in his last five, and the Mavericks needed every bit of that to get the 126-125 win over the Spurs.

If they are going to make any run into the postseason they need Davis back. He added that the bone spur (a bony projection that can grow on the edge of a bone) wasn’t as much the problem as the stress reaction. Davis had been playing the best basketball of his career before going down, a clear All-NBA candidate averaging 27.4 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots per game. So I was kind of dealing with two problems and it comes from that piece, the bone spur kind of just continuously hitting the navicular bone, causing the stress on itself.

The Mavericks are sustaining their best stretch of the season thus far, and what I failed to mention in the previous section is that Doncic is almost the sole reason why. Because we can get caught up in the moment and take greatness for granted, now is a perfect time for a reminder: what Luka Doncic is doing right now is historic. We are witnessing a future Hall-of-Famer write his legacy, and it is important to take it in as much as you can. He is now on the best six game stretch of his career, with every game being a win. There are a few caveats (and the reasons they are not receiving an A+), including the fact that the teams they have beaten are not the NBA’s elite. They have momentum going into the halfway mark of the season, and are utilizing these “easier” games to gain some traction while guys are out.
