Dereck Lively II Unavailable Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Portland. He injured his right knee in Saturday's matchup versus Utah. Due to Lively II's absence, Daniel Gafford gets a chance to join the first unit, with Maxi Kleber working as the backup big. Portland struggles to rebound the ball, […]

Naji Marshall Will Not Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will miss his first game of the season on Sunday versus Portland. He continues to battle an illness, which limited Marshall to 13 minutes against Utah on Saturday. Marshall had scored 20-plus points in four consecutive games before settling for only three points in Saturday's game. He's put in […]

Luka Doncic Returns To Action Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (wrist) will return to the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Portland. The team has upgraded Doncic from questionable to available, marking the end of a five-game absence for the Slovenian superstar.

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Portland. The veteran star will sit out his second game of the season. Irving has carried a big workload lately and almost posted a 30-point double-double on Saturday versus Utah. Dallas hopes to get Luka Doncic (wrist) back on Sunday, which […]

Luka Doncic Unlikely To Play Against Utah

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist) is doubtful for Saturday's game in Utah. The doubtful designation is at least a step in the right direction. However, it appears the 25-year-old will miss a fifth-straight game due to a sprained right wrist. As expected, Kyrie Irving is the favorite to lead the way offensively if Doncic […]

Klay Thompson Still Out On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Klay Thompson (ankle) remains sidelined for Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. The veteran will now miss his third-consecutive contest because of a left foot injury, although it's unknown when he'll be healthy enough to return.

Klay Thompson Out On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) will not take the court on Monday against Atlanta. The team has downgraded Thompson from questionable to out.
