P.J. Washington Jr. - Gets tossed Friday vs. Phoenix Washington was ejected in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Suns. He'll end the night with seven points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over...

Impact Jusuf Nurkic and Naji Marshall got into a fight midway through the first quarter, and Washington joined the duo in being tossed after shoving Nurkic to the ground. The Mavericks will turn to Maxi Kleber, Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper due to the ejections of Washington and Marshall.

Impact Marshall and Nurkic exchanged words with each other after the latter was assessed with an offensive foul, and the two had to be separated after throwing a punch at each other. P.J. Washington was also ejected for shoving Nurkic to the floor. The ejections of Marshall and Washington should mean more playing time for Maxi Kleber, Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Olivier-Maxence Prosper for the rest of Friday's game.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • SI.COM

Daniel Gafford - Starting sans Lively Gafford is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact The Mavericks will deal with the absence of two regular starters, Luka Doncic (calf) and Dereck Lively (hip), meaning Gafford will step into the starting unit at center. Gafford is averaging 12.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Naji Marshall - Moving to starting role Marshall is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact The Mavericks are adjusting their lineup due to the absence of Luka Doncic (calf), so Klay Thompson will play in the backcourt alongside Kyrie Irving and Marshall will slot on the wing. Marshall is averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in his previous seven starts this season.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dereck Lively II - Won't play Friday vs. Phoenix Lively (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Impact Lively is working through a left hip contusion, which is serious enough for him to be sidelined for Friday's Western Conference clash. Daniel Gafford will likely slide into the starting lineup due to Lively's injury and Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell should see increased playing time off the Mavericks' bench. Lively's next opportunity to play will be Saturday against Portland.
