Dereck Lively Latest News
Doesn't score in season-ending loss

Lively accumulated zero points (0-2 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 20 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to Memphis. Friday's Play-In Game loss to the Grizzlies marked the only game this season that Lively played in but didn't score. The second-year center missed over half of the season due to an ankle injury. Across Lively's 36 regular-season appearances, including 29 starts, he averaged 8.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 blocks.
Off injury report for Wednesday

Lively (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings. Lively sat out of the club's regular-season finale due to the right ankle injury that caused him to miss 36 consecutive outings this season. However, the second-year big man is set to return to action during Wednesday's elimination game. Lively has appeared in four matchups since the extended absence, averaging 5.5 points and 4.8 rebounds while shooting 71.4 percent from the field in 16.0 minutes per contest.
Out Sunday, as expected

Lively (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies. As expected, Lively has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss the regular-season finale. He has appeared in three straight and four of Dallas' last five games since returning from a two-month-plus absence. However, despite dropping a double-double Friday, Lively has yet to play more than 18 minutes in a game since his ankle injury.
Unlikely to play Sunday

Lively (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies. Lively has played in four of the Mavericks' last five games, but he'll likely be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale as he continues to work his way back from a fractured right ankle that caused him to miss 36 games. Lively's absence would mean more minutes for Daniel Gafford, Kai Jones and Dwight Powell.
Efficient double-double

Lively finished Friday's 124-102 victory over the Raptors with 10 points (5-7 FG) and 11 rebounds over 18 minutes. Lively needed only 18 minutes of playing time to register his eighth double-double of the season and first since Jan. 9 against Portland. Lively continues to ramp up his activity following a lengthy absence due to a right ankle injury, and he could see a slight uptick in playing time in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Grizzlies as the Mavericks battle for the ninth seed in the Western Conference standings.
Sees just 15 minutes

Lively provided six points (3-3 FG) and one steal over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Lakers. Despite starting this game, Lively saw just 15 minutes and picked up three fouls. He's averaging 15.3 minutes per contest over his last three appearances since returning from injury, and it's clear the Mavericks are going to take a very cautious approach with the second-year center.
Set to play Saturday

Lively (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports. Lively was one of several Dallas players who were deemed probable for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and the upgrade to available shouldn't be surprising. The Mavericks won't have Daniel Gafford (knee), so Lively should see heavy minutes in the frontcourt regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. Lively has made just one appearance since the All-Star break, notching four points, five rebounds and an assist across 16 minutes in a win over the Hawks on April 2.
Expected to play Saturday

Lively (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Clippers. Lively is expected to return to action Saturday after sitting out the first leg of Dallas' back-to-back due to a right ankle injury. Although Lively started in his latest appearance, he only logged 16 minutes.
Ruled out vs. LAC

Lively (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers. After returning from a 36-game absence due to an ankle fracture against the Hawks on Wednesday, Lively will not suit up for Friday's game against the Clippers to manage the injury. Dallas will likely lean on Daniel Gafford, Kai Jones and Dwight Powell in Los Angeles.
