With ice and sleet expected on Saturday, the Mavericks are making some adjustments ahead of Luka Dončić's return to Dallas.
The backstory:
Despite the winter storm hitting North Texas hard on Saturday, the Mavericks' home contest against the Lakers went on as scheduled on Saturday.

The Mavs' next game is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 28, in Dallas against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
