Daniel Gafford
Mavericks
Injury
Daniel Gafford has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Thunder due to a persistent ankle injury, delaying his season debut. With both Gafford and Dereck Lively II unavailable, Anthony Davis might be expected to log more minutes at the center position, and Dwight Powell could see an uptick in playing time as the team prepares to face a competitive Thunder frontcourt.
