Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic made his series debut in Saturday's 100-99 Game 4 loss to the Utah Jazz.

The 23-year-old missed Games 1 through 3 with a left calf strain.

Doncic finished with 30 points, 10 boards, four assists, and two steals in 34 minutes.

The Slovenian tweaked his left calf against the San Antonio Spurs in Dallas' final regular-season contest April 10. Despite missing their best player, the Mavericks had taken a 2-1 series lead over the Jazz.

Doncic tallied 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.2 steals, and shot 35.3% from deep in 65 games this season, the fourth of his NBA career.
