Dallas Mavericks superstar guard Luka Doncic has been ruled out for Thursday’s home game against the LA Clippers because of a left heel contusion.

The injury prevented Doncic from practicing the previous two days.

Mavs co-star Kyrie Irving is listed as questionable with right shoulder soreness but returned to practice Wednesday.
