Moussa Cisse (ankle) will not return against Pelicans on Wednesday.
Marc Stein also reported that the Mavericks don’t believe the ankle injury is serious, but they’re being cautious and he will not be returning to the game. Even if healthy, Cisse isn’t likely to be a fantasy contributor this season unless there’s injuries to Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively.
Marc SteinKlay Thompson tallied five points (2-of-7 FGs), one rebound, three assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in Thursday’s exhibition against the Pelicans.
Blocked shots have never been a huge part of Thompson’s game, so there’s no need to read into his performance against the Pelicans. However, it was good to see the veteran sharpshooter active on the defensive end of the floor. Thompson hasn’t shot well in Miami’s first two preseason games, but start...
Kyrie Irving suffered a calf strain in December while recovering from a torn left ACL.
Irving was targeting a return last March, but the Mavericks’ lottery odds weren’t the only factor that prevented him from playing last season. Irving’s calf strain set him back eight weeks, which means he wouldn’t have been ready to return until well after their season ended. He will play in one of ...
Marc SteinMiles Kelly tallied 24 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and six three-pointers in Wednesday’s exhibition against the Trail Blazers.
Kelly, who spent some of his rookie campaign with the Mavericks on a two-way deal, is with the Warriors on an Exhibit 10 contract. His chances of making the team’s Opening Night roster are slim, but a night like Wednesday doesn’t hurt. He shot 6-of-11 from beyond the arc and led all scorers with 24 ...
Brandon Williams tallied 17 points (7-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s exhibition against the Trail Blazers.
With the Warriors playing their second game in as many nights, most of the players expected to log consistent rotation minutes were held out. That opened the door for Williams, who scored 17 points in 18 minutes. He earned consistent minutes in Dallas last season, and a performance like Wednesday’s ...
Tyus Jones logged 19 minutes in the Nuggets’ preseason opener, finishing Sunday’s loss to Utah with eight points, two rebounds, six assists and a pair of triples.
The veteran point guard will open the season with Denver after the Nuggets signed him in March. He’ll operate as a depth option behind Jamal Murray, and Jones will have streaming appeal if Murray misses time. - Zak Hanshew
ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Ryan Nembhard has signed a two-way deal with the Denver Nuggets.
The second-year man was waived by the Hornets less than a week ago, and it didn’t take long for him to find a new team. With LaMelo Ball playing in Minnesota and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) banged up, more minutes could be up for grabs in Charlotte’s backcourt, but it will be tough for Nembhard to see ...
Shams CharaniaMavericks signed Dwight Powell.
The long-time Maverick will have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot when the team opens training camp next week. Powell appeared in 63 games last season, starting 12, and averaged 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. With Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II healthy, and the additions of Sa...
Dallas MavericksDereck Lively II (foot) reportedly has still not been cleared for training camp.
Lively underwent season-ending surgery in December after playing in just seven games last season. It’s unclear what his status will be as the regular season approaches, though he hasn’t suffered any setbacks. It just takes time for a big man to recover from a major foot surgery, and they don’t want ...
Tiim MacMahonThe Pelicans acquired AJ Johnson and Taj Gibson from the Grizzlies in exchange for Jordan Hawkins, Micah Peavy, a future second-round pick and a second-round pick swap.
Selected 23rd overall in the 2024 draft, Johnson has bounced around in his two NBA seasons. After splitting his rookie campaign between Milwaukee and Washington, he appeared in 48 games for the Wizards and Mavericks in 2025-26, averaging 3.3 points in 9.5 minutes. This is the second time this offsea...
Shams CharaniaESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Nuggets have signed Marvin Bagley III to a one-year deal.
The signing of Bagley gives the Nuggets additional frontcourt depth and could mean that Jonas Valančiūnas’ time in the Mile High City is coming to an end. Between Washington and Dallas, the 2018 second overall pick appeared in 60 games last season, averaging 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists...
Shams CharaniaCooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, VJ Edgecombe, Dylan Harper and Cedric Coward were named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team on Wednesday.
Flagg, Knueppel, and Edgecombe all received 100 first-place votes, with Harper’s 93 votes not far behind. Cedric Coward’s 29 first-place votes were the least of the first-teamers. Meanwhile, Derik Queen, Maxime Raynaud, Jeremiah Fears, Ace Bailey, and Colin Murray-Boyles were named to the All-Rookie...
NBA CommunicationsCaleb Martin (foot) and Brandon Williams (illness) are out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.
Martin and Williams will remain out for the Mavericks’ final game of the season. Due to injuries and the inability to carve out a consistent role when healthy, neither player did enough to land on fantasy managers’ radars for the 2026-27 season.
Dallas MavericksDaniel Gafford (rest) and Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) have been ruled out against the Bulls on Sunday.
Both bigs were initially doubtful for this game, and they have now officially been ruled out. Moussa Cissé and Dwight Powell should fill the minutes at center for the season finale.
Mavs PRP.J. Washington (elbow) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.
Counting Sunday, Washington missed four straight and seven of the Mavericks’ final eight games of the season. The veteran forward appeared in 56 games, averaging 14.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers. Washington has averaged at least one steal and one ...
Dallas MavericksNaji Marshall (hip) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.
Marshall’s 2025-26 season has come to a disappointing end, as he missed the Mavericks’ final three games. The forward made 74 appearances this season, averaging 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, which were all career-highs.
Dallas MavericksKhris Middleton (illness) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
Middleton is a late addition to the injury report, and he won’t be available for this game. Klay Thompson should take on extra minutes off the bench with Middleton unavailable.
