-

Luka Doncic had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists for his 33rd tripledoub­le, Kristaps Porzingis added 28 points and 14 rebounds and the host Dallas Mavericks beat the San Antonio Spurs 115-104 on Wednesday night.

Dallas finished the game on a 17-4 run.

DeMar DeRozan had 30 points, 11 assists and four steals for the Spurs.

GRIZZLIES 127, WIZARDS 112 » Jonas Valanciuna­s scored a season-high 29 points and matched his season best with 20 rebounds to lead Memphis past visiting Washington.

Ja Morant had 21 points and 10 assists, and Desmond Bane finished with 20 points for the Grizzlies.

Bradley Beal scored 21 points for the Wizards but was 6 of 22 from the field, including only 1 of 8 from 3-point range.

ALDRIDGE DONE IN SAN ANTONIO » LaMarcus Aldridge has played his final game for the Spurs, with coach Gregg Popovich announcing that the team and seventime All-Star have mutually agreed to seek opportunit­ies for him elsewhere.

Aldridge, in his sixth season with San Antonio, has missed eight of the past 11 games with a hip injury and then a stomach ailment. The 35-year old center/forward is in his 15th NBA season, the first nine in Portland.

“He’s been a great teammate,” Popovich said.

Celtics guard Marcus Smart, who has missed the past 18 games with a torn left calf, says he’s been cleared to be back on the floor when Boston opens the second half of its schedule tonight at Brooklyn.

Kevin Durant will remain out for the rest of this week and it is unclear when he will return to the Nets lineup, meaning he will miss more than a month with a strained left hamstring.
