Dereck Lively II (foot) out at least three games

Swelling and discomfort in his right foot will force Dereck Lively II to the sidelines for at least the next three games. The Mavericks announced Tuesday that they will re-evaluate the center in seven-to-ten days, a timeline that aligns with earlier reports from insider Marc Stein regarding fears of an extended absence.
Fantasy Impact:
This setback is particularly concerning as the symptoms have flared up in the same foot that required surgery during the offseason. While a return on December 3 represents the best-case scenario, fantasy managers should brace for the possibility of a longer recovery period. With Lively unavailable, Daniel Gafford is positioned to see a significant boost in usage and fantasy appeal.
