Mavericks centers — Anthony Davis, Derreck Lively II, Daniel Gafford — all out at least two more weeks
Those wins will be hard to come by with all three of the centers on the Dallas roster — Anthony Davis (adductor strain), Dereck Lively II (ankle stress fracture), and Daniel Gafford (knee strain) — all out for at least two more weeks and to be re-evaluated March 6, something the Mavericks announced on Thursday.
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford out at least two weeks with knee sprain as injury woes continue for Dallas
The Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic in part to build what, on paper, looked to be perhaps the most imposing front court in the NBA. Anthony Davis is a 10-time All-Star pick, and in Dallas he looked primed to return to his preferred position of power forward with Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford in place to man the center position.
The Mavericks were already without key pieces like Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II before Gafford’s injury.
