Christian Wood | Thu, Jan 26 | Thumb |

Coach Jason Kidd said on Thursday that Wood’s thumb injury will be looked at again in a week. He broke his left thumb against Atlanta a week ago, and it looks like he will be out for at least another week while he heals.
Kleber, on the other hand, hasn’t played since December 12 because of multiple injuries to his right leg, including a knee sprain and a torn hamstring. He was expected to miss a lot of work. No matter when he comes back, the 30-year-old will have a lot of rules to follow and will probably need a long time to get back into shape.
- Luka Doncic – Questionable
Doncic’s status for Monday’s game against the Pistons is in doubt due to an ankle injury.
Doncic did not play in Saturday’s game against the Jazz because of what is being called a mild left ankle sprain, but it is anticipated that he will be eligible to return after missing just one game due to the injury.
In the event that he is unable to participate for a second time, the Mavericks should continue to run with Spencer Dinwiddie as their primary point guard, while Frank Ntilikina should expect to see an increase in the amount of minutes he receives.
