SALT LAKE CITY — Leave it to Boban Marjanovic to offer the most positive sign yet that Luka Doncic is close to debuting this postseason.
During a five-on-five scrimmage in Utah this week, Marjanovic backed off on defense as Doncic attempted a routine shot. He didn’t want to make contact and disrupt the rehab progress Doncic had made on the left calf strain that has cost him three playoff games.
“You could’ve blocked me,” Doncic snapped to his best friend. “Stop making excuses.”
