There’s good news and bad news for the Dallas Mavericks as the NBA’s playoffs get ready to begin.

The good: The team secured the fourth seed in the Western Conference and will host a first-round playoff series.

The bad: MVP candidate Luka Doncic hurt his knee in the season finale against the Spurs.

A drive to the lane ended with him banging knees with the Spurs’ Zach Collins; he immediately left with what’s being called a strained left calf.
