Jason Kidd said he wasn’t playing coy on Tuesday after the Mavericks’ first practice to prepare for the first-round playoff series against Utah, even though nobody would blame him if he was.
There was only one topic anybody really cared about – the health of Luka Donu010diu0107’s left calf muscle, which was strained in the third quarter of Sunday’s regular-season finale against San Antonio.
Kidd was asked directly, indirectly and in roundabout fashion about Luka’s health. His answer never really wavered. It’s an option play at this point as the Mavericks prepare for all eventualities.
