No, Luka Doncic is not poundin’ cold ones before Dallas’ huge playoff game against the Warriors … the Mavericks tell TMZ Sports the photo of the star with a beer making its rounds on social media on Wednesday is an old pic.
Luka, according to a Mavs spokesperson, has been in the training room all morning gearing up for the first game of the Western Conference Finals — not getting a buzz on at a restaurant.
“I can tell you this wasn’t taken today,” the spokesperson said.
“You can’t get this smile off my face right now.”

Unclear when the photo of Luka holding a beer was actually snapped … but seems Dallas fans can now go back to presuming the point guard will be completely sober for Game 1 against the Warriors.
Tip-off at the Chase Center in San Francisco is slated for 6 PM … getcha your popcorn ready!
