The Dallas Mavericks face the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, kicking off Group Play in the NBA Cup. However, the main storyline revolves around Klay Thompson’s return to his former team. Thompson helped the Warriors win four championships and will receive a special welcome.
Dallas has struggled with injuries, but might get some players back. Luka Doncic (left groin strain) is probable and likely to play after logging 41 minutes against the Nuggets. Dereck Lively II (right shoulder sprain) is questionable but feeling better. His return would boost the Mavs.
Injury Report:
Dallas Mavericks:
– Luka Doncic: probable (left groin strain)
– Dereck Lively II: questionable (right shoulder sprain)
– P.J. Washington: doubtful (right knee sprain)
– Dante Exum: out (right wrist surgery)
– Maxi Kleber: cleared to play (right hamstring strain)
Golden State Warriors:

The Mavericks (5-5) can’t afford to fall further behind the West’s leaders. With Thompson’s return and potential player returns, Tuesday’s game holds significance.
Will Thompson’s return and potential player returns propel the Mavericks to victory, or will the Warriors continue their dominance?
