Dereck Lively II Will Play On Thursday
6 months agoDallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (neck) will play on Thursday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie injured his neck in Game 3 and wasn't available for Game 4. The team certainly could have used him, with the Mavs dropping their first game of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night. Of course, Lively will likely split time with Daniel Gafford. But his return should mean fewer minutes for Maxi Kleber, who returned for Game 4 after a lengthy stint on the shelf because of a shoulder injury.
