Dereck Lively II (foot) out at least three games
by Bruno Mulé | Mavericks Correspondent |
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.
