During the Mavericks’ practice Monday afternoon, Luka Doncic appeared to be as close to game-ready as he’d been since spraining his left knee and ankle Nov. 15.

Doncic, who’d been practicing in a 5-on-5 scrimmage during the portion of the workout open to reporters, came off the Terasaki Budokan court abruptly and sat on the bleachers, grabbing at his left knee.
