Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic will make his preseason debut tonight against the Phoenix Suns, and this may quietly wreck the Dallas Mavericks' chance to play against him on Wednesday.
Dallas and Los Angeles will play against each other on Wednesday night in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena in a highly anticipated preseason showdown ahead of the regular season beginning next week, but Doncic playing against the Suns likely decreases his chance of playing in a back-to-back against the Mavs one day later.
Mavericks fans were excited to have the chance to see Doncic play against Cooper Flagg, as this would be a heavyweight throwdown between the old face of Dallas basketball and the new face, but fans may have to wait until their NBA Cup game on November 28 for this.
