A familiar face will be suiting up for the Dallas Mavericks at Golden 1 Center tonight

The Sacramento Kings will play the second game of a back-to-back tonight when they face a very shorthanded Dallas Mavericks team that will be without its star in Luka Doncic.

Help is on the way for Dallas, as former Kings guard and two-time All-Star Isaiah Thomas has signed a contract with the Mavericks and is expected to come off of the bench tonight at Golden 1 Center.

Dallas currently has seven players in the NBA’s Health & Safety Protocols.

As for the Kings, their Health & Safety protocols list continues to shrink as center Alex Len and rookie Davion Mitchell are no longer listed in protocols.

Gentry said on Tuesday that he was hopeful regarding the status of rookie guard Davion Mitchell’s return on Wednesday night.
