The five-time NBA All-Star returned to the team’s lineup at their American Airlines Center home after missing Sunday’s win against Oklahoma City with a knee injury.
Doncic, who was on the court for about 30 minutes, scored a game-high 26 points, adding five rebounds and five assists. He was 10-for-16 from the field and shot 3-for-8 on 3-pointers in the win against New Orleans.
Doncic, last season’s scoring champion, is currently averaging 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game for Dallas (8-7), and he will be reevaluated in a week.
