It was an impressive victory considering the fact that Luka Doncic and Klay Thompson missed the game due to injuries. Dereck Lively II also exited early due to an illness. Doncic has already been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the New York Knicks due to his right wrist injury,

It’s been 10 days since Klay Thompson’s emotional homecoming to the Bay Area for the epic showdown with the Golden State Warriors. But that one rousing effort against his former team has masked what’s otherwise been a tough beginning in Dallas for Thompson.

Klay Thompson's move to the Dallas Mavericks this offseason was one of the biggest storylines across the NBA. He left the Golden State Warriors after 13 years, where he won four championships and made five All-Star Games, establishing himself as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history and a future Hall of Famer.
