The Dallas Mavericks' injury report will be closely monitored ahead of their game against the OKC Thunder on Thursday. The Mavericks are playing on the second night of a back-to-back. They have endured an injury-riddled season, with several rotation players missing many games.
The Mavs haven't submitted their injury report. They only had one injury before Wednesday's showdown against the Golden State Warriors, with Brandon Williams missing the game with a wrist issue.
Kyrie Irving and Dante Exum finished the game against the Dubs without injuries. They have missed a combined 48 games this year, becoming two of their most injury-prone players.
However, Luka Doncic will return on the injury report before Thursday's game. He left the game against the Golden State with a hamstring issue. He hadn't been on it for the past few games, so it's a tough blow.

Doncic and Irving tallied a combined 57 points on 22 of 33 shooting, while five others scored over 10 points. Dallas shot an impressive 58.2%.

Jalen Williams had an off night with a measly nine points, while Chet Holmgren had 13 points and 12 rebounds, but he attempted only seven shots.
