Daniel Gafford - Returns for second half Gafford returns to the floor for the Mavericks after suffering an apparent neck injury in the first half, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Impact With the Mavericks dealing with several key players being in and out of the lineup this season, Gafford returning for the second half against the Thunder is a promising sign for Dallas. The 26-year-old big man is helping shoulder the load in the frontcourt with Dereck Lively (ankle) on the mend.

Daniel Gafford - Leaves for locker room Thursday Gafford exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent neck injury during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com...

Impact Gafford stayed down on the court for an extended period, calling for the training staff after a scary fall. With the Mavericks thin at center, Maxi Kleber and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will likely see a bump in minutes the rest of the way if Gafford is unable to return.

Kessler Edwards - Making first start of season Edwards is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

Impact The Mavericks will be depleted when it comes to their wing depth for this contest, so Edwards will get the start at small forward. Edwards has made 14 appearances off the bench this season and is averaging a mere 3.6 minutes per contest.
