On Tuesday evening, the Dallas Mavericks beat the New Orleans Pelicans (at home) by a score of 132-91.
Luka Doncic returned to the starting lineup after missing Sunday’s 121-119 victory over the OKC Thunder due to an injury.
Before Tuesday’s game, head coach Jason Kidd was asked about Doncic’s slower start than usual to the season when met with the media
Kidd: “He has shown that he’s human, I think some of us have forgot that he’s human. So the way that he’s playing, he’s 28 and 8 and 8, you sign up for that all day long. He’s missed some shots, it happens… He’s one of the best players in the world and we’re lucky to have him.”
Doncic finished Tuesday’s victory over New Orleans with 26 points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block while shooting 10/16 from the field and 3/8 from the three-point range.
He is averaging 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.6 steals per contest while shooting 43.5% from the field and 32.4% from the three-point range in 14 games.
