The Dallas Mavericks enter Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs having lost four straight games. They're in desperate need of a win but need to get healthy to do so. Kyrie Irving missed their last game against the Utah Jazz with a shoulder strain and there was som external concern about his future availability.

Before the season, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd insisted that Doncic’s presence will be needed on the defensive end in order for the Mavericks to be successful.

With the game on the line against the Jazz, Luka Doncic was just standing around on defense, which has become an all-too-common occurrence for the Mavericks.
