Luka Doncic cleared to play in Mavs’ season opener vs. Victor Wembanyama, Spurs

All eyes will be on the American Airlines Center on Wednesday, October 26, 2023, as the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs tip off the NBA season. Not only is it the first game of the season, but it will also feature two of the most exciting young players in the league: Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama.

Doncic has been cleared to play in the game after missing some of the preseason with a calf injury. The Mavericks are hoping that Doncic will be able to pick up where he left off last season, when he averaged 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game.

Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, is making his NBA debut in the game. The 7-foot-4 center is one of the most hyped prospects in recent memory, and he is expected to make an immediate impact on the league.

The Spurs are hoping that Wembanyama can help them get back into the playoffs after missing out last season. The Spurs have a young and talented team, but they need a superstar to lead them. Wembanyama has the potential to be that superstar.

The Mavericks and Spurs game is sure to be a must-watch for NBA fans everywhere. It is a matchup of two of the most exciting young players in the league, and it could be a preview of a future rivalry.
