Chips in 12 points off bench Sasser posted 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3PT), five assists and three rebounds over 27 minutes in a 122-106 loss to San Antonio on Saturday.

Impact Sasser was one of three Mavericks players who scored 12 points during Saturday's loss, and each of them finished second on the Mavericks in scoring behind Sergio de Larrea (12). Sasser has scored in double digits in two of the first three games of the season, and the fourth-year guard brings an offensive spark off the bench for Dallas. He's in line for more work for at least the next couple of games for as long as Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is sidelined.

Tallies 11 points in start Risacher finished Saturday's 122-16 loss to San Antonio with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes.

Impact Risacher and Naji Marshall were both moved into the Mavericks' starting five due to the absences of both Kyrie Irving (rest) and Cooper Flagg (shoulder). Risacher scored two points or fewer in three of four quarters but did give the Mavericks a spark in the third with nine points. Flagg is expected to miss a few more games while recovering from a mild left shoulder sprain, so Risacher should continue to operate in an elevated role for as long as the former is sidelined.

Fills box score in Saturday's loss Gafford posted 12 points (6-9 FG), nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks over 23 minutes during Saturday's 122-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Gafford scored eight of his 12 points in the first half and finished tied for the second-most points on the Mavericks behind rookie first-rounder Sergio de Larrea (21 points).

Drops 21 points in loss De Larrea racked up 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes in Saturday's 122-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact With Saturday's contest coming on the second leg of a back-to-back set, the Mavericks were extremely shorthanded. De Larrea totaled just eight minutes over the first two games of the regular season, though he saw starter-level minutes off the bench Saturday and made the most of the opportunity. The rookie first-rounder erupted for a team-high 21 points, which could help him carve out a more meaningful role in the second unit moving forward, especially considering Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is set to miss time.

Impact With Kyrie Irving (knee/rest) and Cooper Flagg (shoulder) sidelined in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Marshall will enter the starting five and figures to see increased playmaking duties.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Christie (shin) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Johnson will be available to play Saturday, and while he's recovered from his lower-leg injury, his minutes restriction means the Mavericks are being cautious with the rookie. Johnson has played in Dallas' first two games this season, logging 14 minutes against Houston and 17 against the Pacers while averaging 7.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest.

Out due to rest Irving is out for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to rest, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Mavericks are taking a cautious approach with Irving since he's played only a few games since returning from the ACL injury he sustained in March last year, so it's not surprising to see him out for rest. His next chance to play will come against the Heat on Monday, and in the meantime, Marcus Sasser is expected to replace him in the backcourt against the Spurs.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Johnson (shin) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Johnson was initially listed as questionable but is now trending in the right direction ahead of tipoff. If he's cleared to suit up, the rookie would likely see increased playing time due to the Mavericks being extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set.
