UNDATED (AP) — Mavericks guard Luka Doncic is listed as doubtful for Game 1 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series against Utah on Saturday.

Doncic hasn’t practiced since suffering a strained calf in the second half of a season-ending win over the Spurs.

He was the only NBA player to average at least 28 points, eight rebounds and eight assists this season.

In other NBA news:

— Suns guard Landry Shamet didn’t practice Friday because of a left foot injury. Shamet has been one of the team’s top players off the bench, averaging 8.3 points per game. The NBA’s best team in the regular season opens its playoff schedule on Sunday.

— Bulls assistants Chris Fleming and Damian Cotte have tested positive for COVID-19 and will be unavailable for at least the team’s playoff opener against the Bucks.
