The Mavericks superstar is nursing a sprained right knee, an injury he sustained in the first quarter of Game 3.

Dallas head coach Jason Kidd said Doncic did "everything" in their practice and received an extensive kinetic tape job on his right knee.

Doncic played 45 minutes in Game 4 and had a triple-double of 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists but was only 10-of-24 from the field.

After Game 4, Doncic told reporters that his knee was "obviously hurting" but did not want to use the injury as an excuse for the loss.

The series between the Mavericks and Clippers are tied 2-2.
