BOSTON -- Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic is available to play after being downgraded to questionable on the afternoon injury report for Sunday's Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

A thoracic contusion was added to Doncic's injury report in addition to the right knee sprain and left ankle soreness he has been playing through for most of the postseason.

The Mavericks announced that Doncic will be playing shortly after he finished his pregame warmup session. 

Doncic has been listed as questionable on several occasions during these playoffs but has played every game, leading the league in points (519), rebounds (174), assists (151), steals (30) and minutes (744) in the postseason.

Doncic had 30 points, 10 rebounds and only 1 assist in the Mavs' 107-89 Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics.
