Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a 122-108 victory against the New York Knicks, who were shorthanded with only seven players in the second half due to injuries and trades.

Doncic posted 39 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds. Former Knick Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 19 points, while Derrick Jones Jr. added 18 for the Mavericks, who completed a successful 3-0 road trip after acquiring P.J. Washingtоn and Daniel Gafford in trades earlier in the day.Doncic emphasized the importance of securing the win, stating, “They were playing very aggressively and we had to win this game no matter what.”Mavericks coach Jason Kidd expressed excitement about Washingtоn and Gafford joining the team, acknowledging their anticipation to play alongside Doncic.Despite their efforts, the Knicks struggled with several key players sidelined due to injuries, trades, and surgery. Both teams faced challenges with player availability, but the Mavericks managed to overcome their shortage of big me𝚗 to secure the win against the undermanned Knicks lineup.Looking ahead, the Knicks anticipate the return of some injured players after the All-Star break, but until then, they will continue to rely on a depleted roster.
