Doncic (ankle) is hopeful to play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Coach Jason Kidd didn't have much to say about Doncic's sore left ankle, but he noted that the superstar is progressing and could make his return to action later in the week. Tuesday's game against Minnesota will mark Doncic's fifth consecutive absence and his ninth missed game on the season.
