The Dallas Mavericks entered their preseason finale down their biggest star once again, as Luka Doncic missed the entirety of the preseason with a calf contusion. They were hoping this would be a dress rehearsal for the regular season, but they were down Doncic, Maxi Kleber, Dante Exum, and Kessler Edwards.
