The Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic in part to build what, on paper, looked to be perhaps the most imposing front court in the NBA. Anthony Davis is a 10-time All-Star pick, and in Dallas he looked primed to return to his preferred position of power forward with Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford in place to man the center position.

The Mavericks were already without key pieces like Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II before Gafford’s injury.

The Dallas Mavericks announced today that Mavericks center Daniel Gafford sustained a right knee sprain during the Feb. 10 game against the Sacramento Kings. Gafford will be re-evaluated within two weeks with relevant updates to follow as appropriate.
