P.J. Washington Ruled Out Versus Golden State

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Golden State Warriors. The 2019 No. 12 overall pick has averaged 9.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 1.3 blocks this season. Unfortunately, he'll now miss his fourth-straight contest because of a knee injury he picked up during the November 4 […]

Luka Doncic Now A Game-Time Decision

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is now considered a game-time decision heading into Tuesday's matchup with Golden State. The multi-time All-Star was initially listed as probable, so most assumed he'd be out there. However, he's in danger of missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. If Doncic can't get on the floor, Kyrie […]

Dereck Lively II Returning On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (shoulder) will make his return to the court ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

P.J. Washington Not Expected To Face The Warriors

Dereck Lively II Questionable For Tuesday Night

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors. The 20-year-old injured his shoulder during warmups ahead of the November 4 matchup against the Indiana Pacers, so he's been on the shelf for the last four games. With P.J. Washington (knee) doubtful, the Mavs could be without some of […]

Luka Doncic Probable Versus The Warriors

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is probable heading into Tuesday's meeting with the Warriors. This is his second time listed on the injury report because of a left groin strain.

Luka Doncic Dealing With A Groin Injury

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets.

However, he popped up on the injury report because of a groin strain, so it's possible he won't be on the court […]

P.J. Washington Ruled Out On Friday Against Suns

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (knee) will miss his second game in a row dealing with a sprained right knee. The former Charlotte Hornet has been part of the starting lineup throughout the start of the season, but will make way for Naji Marshall while he remains on the sidelines. With Dereck Lively II (shoulder) […]

Dereck Lively II Remains Sidelined Against Suns

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (shoulder) will be sidelined again on Friday while he deals with a sprained shoulder.
