NBA Injury News
8:30 p.m. ET Update: Serge Ibaka is officially ruled out with back spasms.
7:30 p.m. ET Update: Luka Doncic and Maxi Kleber have been cleared to play in Game 6 as expected.
There isn't much new information to note on the injury front for tonight's game between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers.
The Mavs continue to list Luka Doncic and Maxi Kleber as probable on the injury report heading into Game 6. Doncic has been dealing with a strained neck for a few games but has played through the discomfort. Kleber moved to a reserve role with Boban Marjanovic drawing the start to combat the small Clippers starting lineup.
Serge Ibaka is once again listed doubtful ahead of Game 6 as he continues to deal with back spasms. He has missed the previous three games and there is no word on when he will return if the Clippers stave off elimination.
Be sure to check the Action Labs NBA page for real-time updates.
