Spielerstatistiken und Vorschau: Denver Nuggets gegen Dallas Mavericks (24. Nov. 2026)

Injury/Illness - Left Knee Injury Management (2026-11-15, DAL@BOS). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics. Irving was listed as questionable to face Boston after playing 37 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 loss in Cleveland. He will, however, sit out the second leg of the back-to-back for Dallas, which will likely send Cooper Flagg's usage to the moon. Naji Marshall and Walter Clayton Jr. should also get a boost in minutes and playmaking responsibilities off the bench.

Injury/Illness - Right Foot Surgery (2026-11-15, DAL@BOS). 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 - Right Shoulder Stinger (2026-11-15, DAL@BOS). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Gafford (shoulder) is probable to play in Sunday's game against the Celtics. Gafford took an elbow to the shoulder during Saturday's 127-117 loss in Cleveland and eventually left and did not return to the contest. It's a good sign for Dallas that he's listed as probable, so all signs point to Gafford being in the lineup versus Boston.

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-15, DAL@BOS). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Aldama (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Boston. Aldama had 12 points, two rebounds and one steal in Saturday's 130-93 win over Brooklyn. He's in jeopardy of missing this contest, though it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't play, considering Sunday's game marks the second of a back-to-back for the Mavs. If Aldama can't suit up, Morez Johnson could be in line for more minutes.

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-15, DAL@BOS). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Christie (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics. Christie will miss a second consecutive game due to sprained left ankle. With Kyrie Irving (knee) also out for Dallas, Naji Marshall, Zaccharie Risacher and Walter Clayton Jr. will help fill the vacated minutes in the backcourt.

Injury/Illness - Right Thumb Splint (2026-11-15, DAL@BOS).

Injury/Illness - Right Knee Sprain (2026-11-15, DAL@BOS). 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 (2026-11-15, DAL@BOS). 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.

Strawther (knee) was diagnosed with a left knee sprain Friday and will be re-evaluated in six weeks, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports. Strawther suffered the injury in Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers. The 24-year-old has appeared in 172 regular-season games for the Nuggets since entering the league in 2023, averaging 7.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 16.2 minutes per contest. He was in line to compete for an expanded role during the 2026-27 campaign. While that may be the case once Strawther is cleared to suit up, Tyus Jones and potentially Ryan Nembhard are candidates to receive more minutes in the interim.
