Spielerstatistiken und Vorschau: Dallas Mavericks gegen Los Angeles Lakers (28. Feb. 2027)

Reaves (heel) didn't participate in Saturday's practice, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Reaves sustained a bruised left heel in Wednesday's win over Milwaukee and is considered day-to-day, though this update is not encouraging ahead of Sunday's game against Phoenix. If the 28-year-old guard is unable to suit up, Ziaire Williams, Quentin Grimes (finger) and Collin Sexton (head) would be candidates for increased playing time.

Grimes (finger) said he expects to return to action Sunday against the Suns, according to Ricardo Sandoval of Lakers on SI. Grimes has missed the Lakers' last two games, but it sounds as if he could return to the rotation Sunday. It's unclear whether he'd be a starter, but he'd have a chance if Austin Reaves (heel) isn't cleared. Grimes is averaging 8.0 points per game this season, but that number rises to 17.5 points per game in his two starts.

Sexton (head) was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Sexton left Wednesday's game against Milwaukee early after bumping heads with Ryan Rollins and required stitches to close a cut on his forehead. However, Sexton escaped the incident without a concussion, and his ability to practice without restraint is a positive sign for his availability Sunday against the Suns.

Injury/Illness - Right Foot Surgery (2026-11-14, DAL@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-11): Lively (foot) is listed as out for Thursday's game in Minnesota. Lively is still working his way back from foot surgery. He's reportedly trending favorably, though he should continue to be classified as week-to-week, at least until the team provides an update. While Lively remains on the shelf, Daniel Gafford is expected to stay in the starting lineup, with Morez Johnson (shin), Santi Aldama and Moussa Cisse all in line to spend time at the five when needed.

Injury/Illness - Left Shin / Tibia Contusion (2026-11-14, DAL@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Johnson (left shin contusion) is listed as probable for Saturday against Cleveland. Johnson appears to be trending toward availability after recently missing one game due to the shin injury. The rookie has averaged 6.9 points and 4.8 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game this season, limiting his appeal to deeper fantasy formats.

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-14, DAL@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Christie (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers Christie was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest due to a left ankle sprain, but it now appears likely that he'll miss the front end of his back-to-back set. Zaccharie Risacher and Naji Marshall stand to benefit from extra playing time if Christie sits.

Injury/Illness - Right Thumb Splint (2026-11-14, DAL@CLE).

Injury/Illness - Right Knee Sprain (2026-11-14, DAL@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-11): De Larrea (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Minnesota. De Larrea hasn't played since Oct. 26 due to a right knee sprain, but he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. Still, he can be considered week-to-week until Dallas provides an update on his progress.

Injury/Illness - Right Heel Bursitis (2026-11-14, DAL@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-11): Biberovic (heel) is out for Thursday's game against Minnesota. Biberovic remains plagued by right heel bursitis. The rookie forward carries no timetable for his season debut.
