Makes first cameo since February Bertans (calf) played 14 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 113-106 loss to the Pelicans, finishing with six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists.

Impact Bertans was available for the third game in a row after a recent month-long absence due to a calf injury, but Wednesday marked the first time in that three-game stretch that he got off the bench. The absence of Reggie Bullock (quadriceps) and Maxi Kleber (rest) enabled Bertans to see some run off the bench in a competitive game, but it's unclear if he will be featured in the rotation if either or both of Bullock or Kleber are good to go for Saturday's game in Memphis.

Cleared Sunday Bertans (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact As expected, Bertans has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up versus Phoenix. If he garners any playing time, it'll be the sharpshooter's first game since Feb. 2. Before his lengthy absence, Bertans was playing around 12 minutes per game and wasn't making a strong enough impact to be fantasy relevant in standard leagues.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Bertans (calf) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact Bertans has been sidelined since Feb. 2 with a strained left calf but managed to log a full practice Friday, per Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News, and will carry a probable designation into Sunday's tilt. If Bertans plays, he would almost certainly be under a minutes restriction. Regardless, his return could knock Markeiff Morris out of the Mavericks' rotation.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Philadelphia Bertans (calf) is out for Thursday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Bertans' absence streak will extend to 11 games Thursday due to a left calf strain. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Phoenix.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Bertans (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Bertans will miss a 10th straight game due to a left calf strain. It's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again, but his next chance to do so will arrive Thursday against the 76ers.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Sunday Bertans (calf) will not play in Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Bertans will miss a ninth consecutive contest with a strained left calf. With Maxi Kleber (hamstring) also still sidelined, Josh Green and Reggie Bullock should continue to see large workloads. Bertans' next chance to play will come Tuesday against Indiana.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out versus San Antonio Bertans (calf) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Spurs.

Impact Bertans will miss his eighth straight game Thursday due to a left calf strain. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers, although there is no update on his return timetable.

FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss two more weeks Bertans (calf) is expected to miss at least two more weeks, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Head coach Jason Kidd said Bertans won't return until after the All-Star break at the earliest, meaning he's set to miss at least six games before he's ready to return to the hardwood. If that timeline is followed, then Bertans' next chance to return to action would come against the Spurs on Feb. 23.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Bertans (calf) is out for Saturday's game versus the Warriors.

Impact Bertans will miss at least one game after exiting Thursday's contest against the Pelicans early with a left calf strain. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Utah, but it's currently unclear if the sharpshooting big man will be able to join the Mavericks at any point during their upcoming five-game road trip.

FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with calf strain Bertans won't return to Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to a left calf strain.

Impact Bertans was off to a hot start, draining three straight triples, but after converting his third three-pointer he limped off the court and went straight back to the locker room. He'll miss the remainder of Thursday's game, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Saturday's tilt with the Warriors. Bertans finished Thursday's contest with nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and two rebounds.

FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores seven points in 13 minutes Bertans amassed seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 loss to Washington.

Impact Bertans saw double-digit minutes for the first time in over a week, continuing what has been an uneventful season thus far. He currently sits well outside the top 350 in standard formats, averaging just 10.8 minutes per night. If he were to ever crack a substantial role, he could be utilized as a three-point streaming option. However, based on what we have seen over the past couple of years, that feels highly unlikely.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in 17 minutes Bertans produced zero points (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one assist, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 113-101 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Although Bertans looks 100 percent after recovering from an illness, his involvement with the offense remains minimal. The excellent play of Tim Hardaway and Normal Powell has created a logjam below them on the depth chart, and it's forced Bertans' playing time to a near standstill. It's a stark difference for Bertans, who enjoyed a more significant role during his three-year tenure with the Wizards.

Doncic scores 51 points, Mavs beat Spurs for 6th straight

Luka Doncic scored 51 points and the Dallas Mavericks escaped with a 126-125 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night for their sixth straight victory

Doncic scores 50, Mavericks edge Rockets 112-106

Luka Doncic scored a season-high 50 points , including 17 in the fourth quarter, and the Dallas Mavericks held on to beat the Houston Rockets 112-106

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • Associated Press

Scores season-high 18 points Bertans recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-9 3Pt) and one block across 16 minutes during Monday's 116-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Bertans was recently battling an illness and made just his third appearance since Dec. 5, but with Dwight Powell (thigh) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) sidelined, the sharpshooter saw a solid role and made the most of his opportunity by scoring a season-high 18 points. Kleber is expected to be out for a month or two, so Bertans figures to get plenty of looks as a backup floor spacer in Kleber's absence, especially if he continues to shoot like he did Monday night.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Monday Bertans (illness) will be available Monday against Minnesota.

Impact Bertans was technically available for Saturday's game at Cleveland but did not see the floor in the 100-99 defeat. For the most part, the veteran sharpshooter has been on the fringes of the Mavs' rotation, though there's a chance he could pick up a few more minutes on some nights in the wake of Maxi Kleber's hamstring injury.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Bertans is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota due to an illness.

Impact Bertans hasn't played in back-to-back games due to an illness and may be sidelined for a third straight contest. Dwight Powell (thigh) is also questionable, while Maxi Kleber (hamstring) is out, so Dallas' frontcourt may be extremely shorthanded once again.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Saturday Bertans (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Bertans missed Friday's game due to illness but will give it a go Saturday. He will likely be in line for a larger workload given the absence of Dwight Powell (thigh) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) in the frontcourt.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Considered questionable Bertans is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a non-COVID related illness.

Impact Bertans could have a chance to crack the rotation if he ultimately gets the green light, as the Mavericks will be short on size with Maxi Kleber (hamstring) and Dwight Powell (thigh) already ruled out.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Bertans (illness) will miss Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Bertans played through the non-COVID illness Wednesday but he will not be able to do the same Friday. With Maxi Kleber (hamstring sidelined, Reggie Bullock, Christian Wood and Dorian Finney-Smith will likely pick up some slack at the power forward spot. Bertans next chance to play will come Saturday in Cleveland.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Friday Bertans is considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Bertans managed to suit up Wednesday despite the illness, so he would seemingly have a decent chance to suit up Friday as well. When available, Bertans could factor in slightly more moving forward following the news that Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will be sidelined for an extended period.

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Coach Jason Kidd indicated Tuesday that Bertans (non-COVID illness) will be ready to roll Wednesday versus the Cavaliers, Dwain Price of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Impact Bertans' return gives the Mavericks some more depth in the frontcourt heading into Wednesday, but he doesn't figure to be a major factor in the rotation. The veteran is averaging just 7.6 minutes in his 10 appearances for Dallas so far this year.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Bertans (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Thunder.

Impact Bertans was a late addition to the injury report Monday morning with an illness and has now been ruled out. Maxi Kleber (foot) remains questionable, so Christian Wood and JaVale McGee may be in line for increased roles behind Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell.
