DALLAS -- Mavericks star Luka Doncic needed three stitches to repair a laceration on his head suffered in a collision late in a 119-110 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night, but the team's medical staff determined he did not have a concussion.
The laceration occurred when Doncic and Lakers center Dwight Howard collided while chasing a loose ball that was rebounded by Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith with 1:49 remaining.
Doncic received treatment on the laceration from Casey Smith, the Mavs' director of player health and performance, and iced his head during each of the three timeouts in the remainder of regulation.
