Daniel Gafford Exits Friday's Game With Right Ankle Soreness
Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (right ankle soreness) was ruled out of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies and did not return, according to Marc Stein. The 27-year-old big man lasted just 12 minutes before exiting, marking yet another setback for a Mavs frontcourt already missing Dereck Lively II (knee). Gafford's absence opens the door for Dwight Powell to log extra minutes, though fantasy managers shouldn't expect much upside there. If Gafford misses more time, P.J. Washington could slide up to the small-ball five in certain lineups, offering a short-term boost in rebounds and defensive stats. Gafford had been averaging 9.0 points on 71.4% shooting with 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 19.8 minutes per game this season. Managers should monitor his status closely ahead of Dallas' next matchup against Washington.
