The Dallas Mavericks delivered an update on their trio of injured big men on Friday, most notably All-Star forward Anthony Davis.
Following a recent re-evaluation, the Mavericks reported that Davis, who has missed the last ten games due to a left adductor injury, is getting better every day and is now cleared to make more dynamic on-court moves.
Sophomore center Dereck Lively II is progressing in his rehabilitation and is able to participate in individual court workouts.
He was sidelined for the last 23 games because of a right ankle stress fracture. No timelines were given for either Davis or Lively, who will be evaluated weekly.
The update for Mavericks backup center Daniel Gafford, who has missed the last nine games with a right knee sprain, was vague.
The team says he’s showing progress and will be evaluated in two weeks.
It is unknown if the Mavericks’ will get any of their big guys back before the end of the regular season in five weeks.
Dallas (32-31) has 19 games remaining before the regular season finale on April 13 against the Memphis Grizzlies, who visit American Airlines Center on Friday night.
