Dallas Mavericks

  • Dereck Lively IIOut· back Nov 18Report updated ·
    Report note

    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.

  • Morez JohnsonProbable· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    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.

  • Max ChristieQuestionable· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-14, DAL@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Christie is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sprained left ankle. Christie is at risk of missing the front end of this back-to-back set with a lingering injury. His absence would result in an uptick in playing time for Zaccharie Risacher and Naji Marshall, which would bolster both players' streaming appeal.

  • Caleb MartinAvailableReport updated ·
    Report note

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

  • Sergio De LarreaOut· back Nov 18Report updated ·
    Report note

    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.

  • Tarik BiberovicOut· back Nov 18Report updated ·
    Report note

    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.
