contusion

Ayton missed one game because of a right knee contusion suffered in the first half against Utah on Nov. 23, but said it felt fine after cooling down.

Doncic, who missed the Portland game while managing a left leg contusion, will be available Wednesday as the team hosts the Spurs and star center Victor Wembanyama.

This will be the fourth game Doncic has missed this season as he was also sidelined with a minor finger injury and a left leg contusion.

The only thing that’s slowed him down is injuries: a left finger sprain and a left leg contusion suffered in the second game of the season in which he still put up 49 points.

James has been out all season with right sciatica irritation, and Doncic has been out since last Sunday with a left finger sprain and a lower left leg contusion.
