Dwight Powell News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Not starting vs. Minnesota Powell won't start against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Daniel Gafford will return to the starting five Wednesday, pushing Powell to the second unit. The veteran big man has averaged 3.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Posts double-double Thursday Powell logged 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Dallas' 123-115 win over Golden State on Thursday.

Impact Powell led the Mavericks in rebounds Thursday while recording his first double-double of the season (and first since Dec. 28, 2023). The veteran starter has started in five of the Mavericks' last six games, and he should remain in the starting lineup for as long as Daniel Gafford (ankle) is sidelined. Even when Gafford returns, Powell should have an elevated role off the bench in the absence of Anthony Davis (hand).

Drawing spot start Thursday Powell is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Powell will be asked to join the starting five with the Mavs missing a good chunk of the starting frontcourt Thursday. He'll presumably tackle a heavier workload than usual with both Daniel Gafford (ankle) and P.J. Washington (ankle) out.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Sliding back to bench Powell will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Impact Powell made a spot start in place of Daniel Gafford, and he'll return to the bench Wednesday now that Gafford is healthy. Powell and Moussa Cisse should handle backup center duties against the Nuggets.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 10 boards in spot start Powell notched five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 113-105 win over the Nets.

Impact Powell was elevated to the starting lineup due to the absences of Anthony Davis (finger) and Daniel Gafford (ankle). Powell ended up playing 35 minutes, his most in a game since Nov. 29 (another spot start). With Davis sidelined indefinitely and Gafford still questionable, Powell may be forced to start again Wednesday against Denver.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Powell will start against the Nets on Monday, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Anthony Davis (finger) and Daniel Gafford (ankle) both sidelined, Powell will get the starting nod for the second time this season. During his lone start in a win over the Clippers on Nov. 29, the veteran center logged nine points, six steals, five rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes.

Will play vs. Golden State Powell (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Powell has not played in the Mavericks' last four games, the last two of which were due to an illness. He's been cleared to play Christmas Day, though his return shouldn't impact any of the other players in Dallas' rotation.

DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to return Christmas Day Powell (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Powell has not played in the Mavericks' last four games, though his last two absences were due to an illness. He's on track to be available for Christmas Day, though it's unclear whether he'll be in the Mavericks' rotation in Thursday's road game.

Ruled out vs. Denver Powell is out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets with an illness, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning Newsreports.

Impact Powell's next chance to return comes Thursday against the Warriors. Anthony Davis is set to play the majority of the center minutes Tuesday, while Daniel Gafford has the backup role all to himself.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to doubtful Tuesday Powell is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets with an illness.

Impact Powell is expected to be downgraded to out at some point prior to Tuesday's tipoff. He's been outside of the Dallas rotation for three consecutive games, so the center minutes are unlikely to be changed by his likely absence.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with illness Powell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets with an illness.

Impact The Mavericks are likely to see how Powell is feeling closer to tipoff before updating his status. The veteran big man has been out of the Dallas rotation for three straight game, so the center minutes are unlikely to be affected by his possible absence.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Productive line off bench Powell supplied seven points (2-4 FG, 3-6 FT) and nine rebounds across 24 minutes during Monday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Jazz.

Impact Powell has been called to take on a larger role recently with the loss of Dereck Lively (foot) for the season, and with Anthony Davis (calf) ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz. In the three games where Powell has played at least 24 minutes, he averages 11.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start vs. Denver Powell won't start against the Nuggets on Monday.

Impact The veteran big man got the starting nod in Saturday's win over the Clippers, though he'll retreat to the bench with Anthony Davis (calf) back in action. Powell will likely split time with Moussa Cisse behind Davis on Monday due to Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively (foot) being sidelined.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Powell will start Saturday against the Clippers, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Anthony Davis (calf), Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively (foot) all sidelined, Powell will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The veteran big man has averaged just 4.7 minutes per game in his last three appearances and will likely split time with Moussa Cisse at center.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in loss Powell racked up no counting stats across three minutes during Saturday's 102-96 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Powell moved back into the rotation, albeit for a brief three-minute period. Despite multiple injuries to the frontcourt, Powell has been unable to carve out a consistent role, averaging 2.1 points and 2.0 rebounds in his first 13 appearances.

Starts second half; scores 18 Powell contributed 18 points (4-6 FG, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, one steal, two blocks and one turnover in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 victory over Indiana.

Impact Powell collected a DNP-CD on Monday, but with Anthony Davis (leg) exiting Wednesday's game early, Powell was able to re-enter the rotation and he started the second half. If Davis, Dereck Lively (knee) and Daniel Gafford (ankle) all need to miss Saturday's game in Detroit, Powell would likely get the starting nod as the last center standing in Dallas.
