Luka Doncic is nearing a return to the Dallas Mavericks after recovering from a right wrist sprain that sidelined him for four games. He practiced on Friday and appeared to be in good form, although he is listed as doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the Utah Jazz.

The Mavericks have performed well without Doncic, boasting a 4-1 record in his absence. Players like Kyrie Irving and P.J. Washington have stepped up, contributing significantly to the team's offense.

Coach Jason Kidd emphasized the need for Doncic to adjust to the new dynamics of the team, while Spencer Dinwiddie highlighted the importance of fitting around Doncic's MVP-caliber style. Doncic's potential return could be as soon as Saturday against the Trail Blazers or Tuesday against the Grizzlies.
