Dante Exum - Not yet cleared for contact Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said after Saturday's practice that Exum is making progress in his recovery from right wrist surgery, but the veteran guard isn't yet taking contact...

Impact Exum underwent surgery Oct. 9, with estimates at the time calling for him to miss around three months. He's now reached the end of that three-month timeline, and though Exum doesn't seem to have hit any snags in his recovery, he'll still need more time to get reconditioned and take contact before being cleared for his season debut. A firmer target date for Exum's return may come once he has another checkup with his surgeon, who could then give the 29-year-old the green light to ramp up his activity in practices.

Kyrie Irving - Trending up, but return still TBD Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Saturday that Irving will remain out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets but is "trending in the right direction" in his recovery from a bulg...

Impact Irving will miss his fourth consecutive game and his second in a row due to what the Mavericks are officially labeling as a lumbar back sprain, after the first two absences were attributed to an illness. Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon of ESPN reported Monday that Irving would miss at least 1-to-2 weeks with the disc issue, and given that the veteran guard isn't yet practicing, he would appear to be trending toward the longer side of that timeline. At this point, Irving should probably be viewed as doubtful for the Mavericks' upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set versus the Nuggets and Pelicans, respectively.

Markieff Morris - Available for Sunday Morris (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Morris has just one appearance to his name over the last 10 games, so he's not guaranteed to see any minutes Sunday.

Naji Marshall - Solid outing in win Marshall supplied 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Marshall has seen a boost in minutes with Luka Doncic on the mend and is coming off a decent performance in the win over the Trail Blazers. The 26-year-old has scored in double digits in two of the last three games, with Dallas needing to continue to lean on him until Doncic returns.

Klay Thompson - Struggles in win over Portland Thompson supplied three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Thompson had one of his worst performances with the Mavericks during Thursday's win against the Trail Blazers. The four-time NBA champion has been streaky this season in Dallas, and that continued against Portland, shooting 1-for-6 from the floor in 22 minutes. The veteran sharpshooter hasn't been able to capitalize on shouldering the load in the absence of fellow stars Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back).

Dereck Lively II - Blows up with double-double Lively ended with 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 35 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Lively held down the frontcourt effectively, racking up a great line while containing DeAndre Ayton's production. Donovan Clingan has a bit more success against Lively, but the 2023 first-round pick was nonetheless impressive. Daniel Gafford only managed 10 minutes during Thursday's win, so it appears that Lively is strengthening his hold on the starting job.

Jaden Hardy - Logs season-high 25 points Hardy supplied 25 points (10-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 victory over Portland.

Impact Hardy took advantage of Kyrie Irving's (back) absence and posted his best total of the season off the bench. Klay Thompson got off to a cold start, allowing Hardy to step in alongside Spencer Dinwiddie. Hardy didn't meet expectations initially as the roster grew thin, but his performance on Thursday proved his ability to make an impact when he is called upon. He's now logged five consecutive games of double-digit scoring.

P.J. Washington Jr. - Brilliant down the stretch Washington finished Thursday's 117-111 win over the Trail Blazers with 23 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 35 minutes.

Impact Washington was the primary catalyst of Dallas' comeback, converting two free throws and a three-pointer with time winding down. Thursday's game was one of Dallas' best performances amid Luka Doncic's (absence), and they won despite the addition of Kyrie Irving (back) to the injury report. Washington was one of several Mavericks to outperform their usual numbers, with the Kentucky product notching his second double-double over three games.
