Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic will make his playoff series debut in Game 4 against the Utah Jazz on Saturday.
Doncic, who has been out since April 10, will play limited minutes in his first game back. He has been sidelined because of a left calf strain.
“Luka will play,” Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said. “He’s not going to play the whole game, not going to play 48 minutes but we’ll see how he feels and we’ll go from there. … He was good yesterday. … We truly believe with him back, that helps us.”
In 65 games during the regular season, Doncic averaged 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists.
Tim Hardaway Jr. (left foot surgery) and Frank Ntilikina (illness) will remain out for Dallas.
The Mavericks lead the best-of-seven series 2-1 heading into Game 4.
