Report: Doncic likely out at least 2 games with heel contusion
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic will likely miss at least two games due to the right heel contusion he suffered in Thursday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans, sources told NBA reporter Marc Stein.
Doncic exited in the third quarter after a hard fall. He finished with 31 points in 23 minutes.

Dallas has already ruled out Doncic for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. If he misses Monday's tilt against the Utah Jazz, Doncic's next chance to return would be Wednesday when the Mavericks visit the Los Angeles Clippers.
Doncic missed the game prior to Thursday's victory following a left ankle injury suffered just three minutes into last week's matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
The 23-year-old has played in 47 of the Mavericks' 53 games this season. He's averaging 33.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.2 assists.
