The Mavericks are 19-35 and pivoting towards a rebuild, so this news is not a big surprise. By waiting until the 2026-27 season to return from his torn ACL, Irving will be able to take his time with his rehab to ensure that he returns at full strength. Irving is under contract for one more season with a $42.42 million player option for 2027-28.
Thompson was a late addition to the injury report and will miss Dallas' penultimate game of the season. With the veteran wing sidelined, John Poulakidas, Khris Middleton and AJ Johnson are candidates to see increased minutes. Thompson's final chance to suit up this season will come Sunday against the Bulls.
As expected after being listed as doubtful, Gafford will miss his third consecutive game due to a right shoulder impingement. With Gafford sidelined once again, Marvin Bagley is heavily favored to draw another start at center. Dwight Powell should also continue to see rotational minutes backing him up.
As anticipated following his doubtful tag, Washington will be sidelined for a third consecutive contest due to a left elbow sprain. With Washington, Klay Thompson (illness) and Naji Marshall (hip) officially ruled out, the Mavericks are dealing with a severely depleted frontcourt. Expect Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith to see significant boosts in playing time and usage against San Antonio.
As expected after entering the day with a doubtful tag, Marshall will sit out his second consecutive contest due to a left hip contusion he sustained during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. With Marshall officially sidelined again, the Mavericks will likely lean on Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith to absorb the available minutes in the frontcourt.
Martin's absence will extend to 13 consecutive games due to a strained right heel. With the Mavericks eliminated from playoff contention, Martin's last opportunity to appear in a game this season is Sunday against the Bulls.
Lively sought out multiple opinions on his right foot, but it was ultimately determined that season-ending surgery was the best course of action for the third-year center, and he's expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season. Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell will continue to serve as the main big men for Dallas behind Anthony Davis in Lively's absence.
As expected following his doubtful tag, Williams will miss his third consecutive contest while continuing to battle an illness. With Williams sidelined and Klay Thompson also out with an illness, the Mavericks' depth will be severely tested on Friday. Ryan Nembhard, AJ Johnson, and John Poulakidas should all see increased opportunities.
