Lakers vs Mavericks: Live updates and highlights

After coming apart at the seams after Luka Doncic's ejection and losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder 136-120 on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers will be back in action on Wednesday when they visit the Dallas Mavericks. That means Doncic will be back in his old stomping grounds for the first time since the monumental trade that sent him to the Lakers.

Los Angeles is still in third place in the Western Conference, and with three games left on its schedule, it needs two wins to clinch the third seed. Therefore, this contest versus the Mavs will carry tremendous importance, as a loss would mean the team will need to win both of its final regular-season games. L.A. will host the second-seeded Houston Rockets on Friday before it has a road game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Check back here for the latest updates and highlights from Wednesday's game.
