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.
