Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic, who has not played since suffering a left calf strain on April 10, will return in Game 4 against the Utah Jazz on Saturday.

Coach Jason Kidd said Doncic will be under a minutes restriction during Saturday's game.

"He won't play all 48 [minutes]," Kidd said. "We'll see how he feels and go from there."

The Mavericks lead the series 2-1.

Doncic has been doing full-speed basketball activity since Tuesday, played 5-on-5 on Thursday and Friday, and said he is not experiencing any pain or discomfort in his calf.

The Mavericks have stuck to their plan of being patient with Doncic's recovery because they do not want to risk him aggravating the injury and potentially being sidelined for the remainder of the playoffs.
