Doncic rejoins the Mavericks after the birth of his child, while Irving is out due to a foot injury

After missing a game due to the birth of his baby, Luka Doncic was back in the starting lineup for the Mavericks on Saturday night against Oklahoma City. However, star guard Kyrie Irving was out due to a foot ailment.

After he injured his foot, Irving finished with a season-low 10 points on 3-of-15 shooting in the 108-94 loss.

Tim Hardaway Jr., the team's third-leading scorer, was sidelined for the second straight game due to back spasms. Josh Green, the team's sporadic starter, is sidelined due to an elbow injury, and Dante Exum missed his second consecutive game for personal reasons.

Due to a dislocation in his right little toe, Dallas was already without reserve big man Maxi Kleber, who hasn't participated in a game since November 1.
