BAD Mavericks Injury News On Dereck Lively & Kyrie Irving + Luka Doncic Returning Soon?

Mavericks injury news is not good as three key players are all dealing with various injuries. Luka Doncic has a calf strain, Kyrie Irving has a bulging disc in his back and Dereck Lively has a sprained ankle. This makes Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s job very difficult on a night-to-night basis, trying to figure out what his rotation will be. With the latest Mavs injury news on Lively, Dallas will be shorthanded in Mavs vs. Pelicans on the second night of a back-to-back in a game they have to win to stay afloat in the competitive Western Conference. On this episode of Mavericks Today by Chat Sports, we explore the latest Mavericks injury report.

    It’s something going on behind the scenes in Dallas. Are they not resting enough or taking care of our players?
    What do their diets look like?

    They just resting guys to be ready when it really counts, playoffs. They were dead tired in finals, and aren't going to let that happen again.

    The problem with Lively AND Gafford is that they're so aggressive they put themselves in positions to get hurt. I don't think he's injury prone as much as he is too anxious to do things he's good at to try and dominate. How did he get hurt? He jumped and landed on Jokic's foot. How did Gafford get his ankle injury last week? Trying to block a shot that wasn't fully necessary. How did he get the concussion and miss an incredibly important game 3 of the Conf Finals? Tried to jump and got knocked down into Reid's knee. When they go after a shot, they leave the glass open for offensive rebounds by the other team. So the block is irrelevant if they're giving up an easy layup instead. It also put them in a position where they can get knocked down, twist an ankle, or injure fingers or hands. Make both of them 25% less aggressive and more interested in blocking out for a rebound, and there will be less injuries and they'll give up less offensive rebounds. I'm starting to lean toward losing Gafford to get an aging center who can stay healthy and doesn't try to block every shot inside of 8' from the rim. Someone asked my opinion on Vucivec last night and the more I think about it, the more I think it would be a good idea (even just for 1-2 seasons).

    A 20ppg scorer (and 10rpg) who can stretch the floor and play perimeter defense? Playing alongside Lively to maybe help him calm down out there and prioritize less fouls and less injuries? Yes please…..

    Irving looked like he was moving OK last night, now he had a terrible game but if you play you got to be held accountable. As the #2 man he shoulders a huge responsibility. Now to Liv, hate to think this way but he is showing all signs of being injury prone. Which is a big big deal if he is undependable, maybe we should trade Gafford go get Kessler from Jazz. Then give Liv to develop like most 20 yr old players. Liv has more talent but just too raw, too many silly fouls terrible hands, Gafford appears to be more reliable. But I think Kessler is available and a upgrade.

    Im not buying this ky bs. You played last night but you're injured again today??? He and the team needs the luka magic to compete. Ky can't lead. He proved that again last night

    Thanks for the update. I feel like Kyrie has the scariest injury. I want him to have a long career, and back injuries are very tough and zap you of your speed.
