Luka Doncic sat out the last 7:17 of the third quarter after hitting his head on an Orlando player’s lower leg.
The Mavericks’ star went to the locker room but returned to the bench before the end of the third quarter and played throughout the fourth, making a decisive impact.
“No concussion protocol,” he said. “I mean, they checked, but everything was fine.”
Doncic and Irving scored the final 13 points for Dallas, contributing 23 of the team’s 31 points and all five assists for the Mavericks in the fourth quarter.
