Caleb Martin - Upgraded to probable Martin (back) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Martin was initially listed as questionable but now appears likely to return from a one-game absence due to lower-back soreness. With P.J. Washington (ankle) and Naji Marshall (finger) expected to join Cooper Flagg (foot) on the sidelines, Martin is likely to see increased playing time and is a top candidate to enter the starting five.

Naji Marshall - Downgrades to doubtful Marshall (finger) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Marshall is dealing with a right finger contusion that he likely picked up in Friday's loss to the Grizzlies. It appears as though the injury will prevent him from suiting up for Sunday's contest, which opens up more playing time for Brandon Williams, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton.

AJ Johnson - Recalled Sunday The Mavericks recalled Johnson from the G League's Texas Legends on Sunday.

Impact Johnson joined the Legends for Saturday's 112-105 loss to the Valley Suns, during which he tallied 27 points (10-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes. Over six appearances with the parent club, the second-year guard has averaged 4.2 points in 10.8 minutes per contest.

Tyler Smith - Inks two-way pact The Mavericks signed Smith to a two-way contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Smith signed a two-way pact with Houston in December before being waived in January, though he will now join Dallas on a two-way deal. The second-year big man has yet to see any action at the NBA level this season, but he appeared in 27 G League outings with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and Capital City Go-Go before signing with Dallas. Over that stretch, he averaged 14.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.6 minutes per game.

John Poulakidas - Signing two-way deal with Dallas The Mavericks are signing Poulakidas to a two-way contract, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports Saturday.

Impact Poulakidas appeared in 37 G League outings with the San Diego Clippers this season, during which he averaged 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 45.1 percent from downtown across 27.0 minutes per contest before landing a two-way contract with Dallas. The guard could see some playing time at the NBA level for a Dallas team that is not expected to make the Play-In Tournament, but he is expected to spend most of his time with the club's G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, after Ryan Nembhard was upgraded from a two-way to a standard deal.

Caleb Martin - Iffy to face OKC Martin (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Martin is still dealing with lower-back soreness and could miss a second straight game. If the veteran forward joins Cooper Flagg (foot) on the sidelines, Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson and Naji Marshall (finger) would be candidates for increased minutes, especially if P.J. Washington (ankle) is downgraded from doubtful to out.

20 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

P.J. Washington - Doubtful for Sunday Washington (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Washington has already missed two consecutive games due to a left ankle sprain he suffered Tuesday against the Nets, and he appears likely to remain sidelined for the series finale of the Mavericks' three-game homestand. With Washington expected to be out, and Cooper Flagg (foot) out, the Mavericks will likely continue to lean heavily on Naji Marshall (finger) and Khris Middleton in the frontcourt.

20 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Marvin Bagley III - Won't suit up Sunday Bagley (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Bagley will miss a second consecutive contest due to a neck sprain, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Hornets. With the big man sidelined, Dwight Powell will likely operate as Daniel Gafford's primary backup.

20 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Naji Marshall - Questionable for Sunday Marshall (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Marshall appears to have picked up a right finger contusion during Friday's loss to the Grizzlies, a contest in which he exploded for 36 points and 10 rebounds in 42 minutes. The Mavericks are already shorthanded with Cooper Flagg (foot) and P.J. Washington (ankle) dealing with injuries, so Marshall's availability will be key for the Dallas frontcourt.

20 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Cooper Flagg - Not playing Sunday Flagg (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Flagg's absence due to a left foot sprain will extend to seven games Sunday, and he should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's contest against the Hornets. Naji Marshall (finger), Caleb Martin (back) and Brandon Williams should all continue to see extended playing time for as long as Flagg is sidelined.

20 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Klay Thompson - Set to return Sunday Thompson (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Thompson sat out of Friday's loss to the Grizzlies due to rest purposes, but the veteran wing will return for Sunday's contest. P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as doubtful and Caleb Martin (back) and Naji Marshall (finger) are both questionable, so Thompson could operate in an elevated role against Oklahoma City.

Dwight Powell - Double-double off bench Friday Powell recorded 13 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-105 loss to Memphis.

Impact The veteran center produced his second double-double of the season, with the first coming Jan. 22 against the Warriors. Powell has struggled to get consistent court time even with Dereck Lively (foot) out for the season and Anthony Davis (finger) now in Washington, and Friday's 23 minutes represented his highest workload in February, and only the third time in eight appearances this month he even played double-digit minutes.

Brandon Williams - Leads team in Friday's loss Williams finished with 16 points (5-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 124-105 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Getting the start in place of Cooper Flagg (foot), Williams led the Mavericks in scoring while setting a new season high in boards. The fourth-year guard has scored at least 13 points in 12 of his last 13 games (two starts) dating back to Jan. 22, averaging 15.6 points, 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 0.8 threes over that stretch while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor.
