Injury/Illness - Left Knee; Surgery

G League - Two-Way

Cooper Flagg (ankle) will not return to Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Flagg sprained his left ankle early in the second quarter of Sunday’s regular-season finale. With nothing to play for, the rookie’s debut campaign has come to a disappointing end. Thanks to a late-season flourish, Flagg is the betting favorite to win Rookie of the Year honors, with college teammate ...

Caleb 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.

Daniel 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.

P.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 ...

Naji 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.

Tyus Jones, Tim Hardaway Jr., Julian Strawther, Bruce Brown and Jonas Valančiūnas will start Friday’s game against the Thunder.

While the Thunder will be without four of their usual starters, the Nuggets are without all five of theirs. Hardaway and Brown may be the safest options for fantasy managers in active leagues, but all five can offer value in their respective roles given Denver’s limited depth.

Brandon Williams (illness) is out for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Williams remains out for another game, which may result in AJ Johnson playing rotation minutes off the bench. Johnson logged 17 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Suns, shooting 1-of-11 from the field. He is not worth the risk in active leagues.

Cooper Flagg, Ryan Nembhard, Khris Middleton, Max Christie and Marvin Bagley III will start on Wednesday against the Suns.

The Mavs will roll out a different starting unit on Wednesday’s second game of a back-to-back. With Naji Marshall injured, Nembhard steps into a starting role to provide Dallas with additional ball-handling and playmaking, while Bagley takes over the starting center spot. The Mavs will miss the play...

Khris 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.

AJ Johnson has been traded to the Mavericks.

The 2024 first-round pick was traded to Washington during his rookie year after being drafted by Milwaukee. He’ll be on the move once again and try to make things work in Dallas. The Mavs seem to be shifting towards a tank for this season, so Johnson could play big minutes down the stretch of this y...
