Luka Doncic Will Play Against Timberwolves

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Sunday and will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The swelling in his right ankle seemed to go down enough for him to move comfortably and get back on the court. His offensive abilities are much-needed against one of the top defensive […]

Richaun Holmes Not Expected To Play On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Richaun Holmes (personal) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 30-year-old has missed the last two games, so it appears he's moving toward another absence. That said, Holmes has rarely seen the floor this season, averaging 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 points in 10.6 minutes per contest. He could […]

Grant Williams May Not Play On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves. He's dealing with a sprained right ankle, keeping him out of the lineup in Friday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Luka Doncic (ankle) didn't play in that game, either, so Williams could have gotten more involved offensively. At any rate, […]

Dereck Lively II Doubtful On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 8.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 29 appearances. However, he's been battling a sprained ankle, an injury he sustained versus the Trail Blazers on Wednesday evening. […]

Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Timberwolves. He didn't suit up on Friday night versus Portland because of right ankle swelling. As a result, Kyrie Irving led the way offensively, finishing with a game-high 24 points, adding nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks. Additionally, […]

Luka Doncic Sitting Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report on Friday because of a swollen right ankle, although most knew there was a chance he wouldn't be on the floor. That said, without Doncic in the lineup, Kyrie Irving could […]

Grant Williams Uncertain For Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both Williams and Dereck Lively II (ankle) were injured during Wednesday's game. Between the two, Lively has been much more impactful on the court this season. Dwight Powell is expected to see more run if one or […]

Dereck Lively II Questionable With Ankle Sprain

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain during their game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. He was forced to exit the game after clocking 18 minutes on the floor and while he didn't score at all, he posted four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three blocks. After […]

Dante Exum, Richaun Holmes Both Ruled Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) and center Richaun Holmes (personal) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out on Friday. Given the doubtful tag, this isn't a surprise that they're not playing, but at least the team made it official with plenty of time before the game. This will be their second consecutive game […]

Luka Doncic Appears On Injury Report With Ankle Swelling

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) popped up on the injury report on Friday with right ankle swelling and has been tagged as questionable for their game against the Portland Trail Blazers. If the team decided to hold out Doncic against a weaker opponent while Kyrie Irving was healthy, it wouldn't come as that big […]

Dereck Lively II Injured Wednesday Night

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II sprained his left ankle in Wednesday's 126-97 win over Portland and exited the game after logging only 19 minutes. He failed to score but made a big difference defensively with three blocks and two steals while notching four rebounds and four assists. Lively II also missed some time last […]

Grant Williams Exits Early With An Ankle Sprain

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams couldn't finish Wednesday's game against Portland due to a right ankle sprain. He logged 15 minutes in a blowout win, scoring two points while registering two rebounds and two assists. Dallas has a rematch with the Trail Blazers scheduled for Friday night, so Williams has to recover quickly if he […]

Josh Green Moves Into Starting Five

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Green will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Mavs will be without Dante Exum (heel), so Green will shift into the starting unit. The move to the starting five should boost Green's fantasy value. However, his fantasy ceiling is going to be […]

Dante Exum Doubtful To Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland. He tried to play through a right heel contusion on Monday versus Utah, but Exum lasted for only 12 minutes. Jaden Hardy started the second half in Exum's place on Monday, and he will likely maintain the role versus the Trail […]

Dante Exum Exits Early Monday With Heel Issue

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum exited Monday's loss to Utah with a right heel contusion. He was already considered questionable for the game with the same issue.

Kyrie Irving Will Suit Up On Monday Versus Jazz

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) hasn't played since December 8 after suffering a right heel contusion.

Kyrie Irving Tagged As Doubtful Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Thursday's 118-110 loss to Minnesota marked the 11th consecutive game Irving has missed, and his return on Saturday appears unlikely, but the fact that Irving is now carrying a doubtful tag is a sign that he could be […]
