“Reaves has started his return-to-play protocol, which includes one-on-one on-court work, while Doncic will be starting his “soon”, according to Redick, who emphasized there isn’t a timeline for either player.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific details—that Reaves started his one-on-one protocol and Doncic will start 'soon' with no timeline—are not independently corroborated by multiple sources. While multiple sources mention Redick discussing the players' status, the precise details of the 'soon' start and the specific protocol mentioned are only detailed within the context of the search results, making it attributable to a single narrative thread.
