Is Luka Doncic playing tonight against the Indiana Pacers?

Luka Doncic will play today for Dallas Mavericks for their road game against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. He was listed as probable and has been dealing with a broken nose since before the All-Star break.

Earlier, Mavs injury report suggested that Doncic will likely play tonight against the Pacers. He was tagged as probable, which indicated a good chance of him suiting up and playing through his injury. He has not missed a game since suffering the broken nose on Feb. 5.

Apart from Doncic, there are three more players on Dallas' injury report – Dereck Lively II, Maxi Kleber and Dante Exum. Lively and Kleber are listed as probable, so they're more than likely playing tonight. Exum is out and won't suit up for the Mavs due to bursitis in his right knee.
