Naji Marshall Will Not Play Thursday
3 hours agoDallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will not be able to return to action for Dallas in the second game of their back-to-back on Thursday night against the Thunder. Marshall had played 30+ minutes in three straight games before missing Wednesday's contest with an illness. The Mavs were short-handed on the wing since Klay Thompson (ankle) was also out and will miss Thursday's game as well. Without Marshall and Thompson, Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will get plenty of work against the Thunder. Grimes only had five points, four rebounds, and three assists despite playing 36 minutes Wednesday while Prosper had four points and four boards in 25 minutes.
