Luka Doncic faced an injury scare during the Mavericks' rematch against the Minnesota Timberwolves, leaving the game in the second quarter after colliding with Jaden McDaniels.

Despite the injury, Doncic returned for the second half, albeit with a noticeable limp. He had contributed 13 points, two rebounds, and six assists before exiting, as the Mavericks held a slim lead at that point.
