Luka Doncic sat out the Dallas Mavericks' 113-97 victory over the LA Clippers due to a left heel contusion, yet his team showcased impressive depth with eight players scoring in double figures. Quentin Grimes led the scoring with 20 points, while Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson contributed 15 and 16 points, respectively.

Despite Doncic's absence, the Mavericks maintained a strong performance, demonstrating a faster-paced game that caught the Clippers off guard. Coach Tyronn Lue noted the team's increased aggressiveness without their star player.

Doncic, who was present to support his teammates and promote his foundation, may return for the upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers as he continues to recover from his injuries.
