Doncic missed much of last week's 119-115 win over the Philadelphia 76ers after suffering a hamstring injury in the second quarter.
He did not return to the game, raising concerns about his availability for the showcase event.
Despite the setback, the 24-year-old guard has been cleared for a limited role in the All-Star Game. This season, Doncic is averaging 32.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game, continuing to put up MVP-level numbers.
This year marks his sixth All-Star selection, and he once again led fan voting in the Western Conference.
