Dallas Mavericks star guard Luke Doncic has been ruled out of Friday’s game against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies due to personal reasons.
Doncic, 24, collected 41 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in Dallas’ 121-115 win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s effort came while the four-time All-Star sported a wrap on his left thumb to protect the low-grade sprain he sustained during the Mavericks’ 107-88 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
Doncic boasts team-leading averages in points (31.1), rebounds (8.0) and assists (7.9) in 17 games this season.
Forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Dallas, which posted a 125-110 win in Memphis on Oct. 30.
