Dereck Lively II (leg) won't return for Mavericks on Sunday
Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II will not return Sunday in the team's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Lively has been ruled out for the rest of the night in the third quarter of Sunday's contest with what is being described as a "right lower leg injury." Dallas is also winning by nearly 30 points, so that may be playing a factor here. Expect more work for Maxi Kleber as long as Lively is unavailable.
Before exiting, Lively had 2 points, 2 rebounds and 13.4 FanDuel points.
