Dallas Mavericks star point guard Luka Doncic is sitting out Saturday afternoon’s home game against the Sacramento Kings due to a sprained left toe.
Doncic is expected back for Monday’s home game against the Utah Jazz.
Doncic, a three-time All-Star, had a superb outing in Thursday’s 122-113 home win over the Golden State Warriors. He had 41 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.
The 23-year-old is averaging 27.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 8.8 assists in 48 games. The Mavericks are 32-16 with Doncic in the lineup and 6-9 when he sits out.
Dallas coach Jason Kidd said that Spencer Dinwiddie will start in place of Doncic.
Dinwiddie is averaging 14.5 points and 4.8 assists in six games off the bench since recently being acquired from the Washington Wizards.
