Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is slated to return to the lineup for Saturday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs after missing one game with a strained left quadriceps.

Doncic sat out Friday night's 122-96 road loss to the Houston Rockets but isn't listed on Saturday's injury report.

Doncic ranks second in the NBA with a 32.7 scoring average. He also is averaging 9.1 assists and 8.4 rebounds in 26 games.

The sixth-year pro has five triple-doubles this season to raise his career total to 61.

Dante Exum (bruised leg) will also return to the lineup after a one-game absence.

Kyrie Irving (heel) will miss his eighth straight game.
