Ruled out versus Chicago Marshall (hip) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Chicago.

Impact Marshall won't play in Sunday's contest against Chicago, marking his third consecutive absence and the end of his 2025-26 campaign. Without him, Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton are in line to see more minutes while receiving additional scoring opportunities.

Unlikely to play Sunday Marshall (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls.

Impact It appears as though Marshall will miss a third consecutive game while tending to a left hip contusion. If he's indeed ruled out for Sunday's game, he'll end the 2025-26 regular season averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game along with 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 threes over 29.5 minutes per game. Klay Thompson (rest), Khris Middleton and John Poulakidas should operate in elevated roles if Marshall is sidelined.

Ruled out for Friday Marshall (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact As expected after entering the day with a doubtful tag, Marshall will sit out his second consecutive contest due to a left hip contusion he sustained during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. With Marshall officially sidelined again, the Mavericks will likely lean on Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith to absorb the available minutes in the frontcourt.

Tagged doubtful for Friday Marshall (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Marshall suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's clash against the Clippers and was forced to sit out of Wednesday's game as a result of the injury. It appears he'll need even more time to recover after being listed as doubtful for Friday, which would mean more playing time for Klay Thompson, Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith in the frontcourt. Expect another update on Marshall's status closer to tipoff.

Not playing Wednesday Marshall (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Impact Marshall injured his left hip during the Mavericks' 116-103 loss to the Clippers. The injury is severe enough for him to miss the first leg of Dallas' back-to-back set, and his next opportunity to play is Friday against San Antonio. With several Mavericks players missing Wednesday's contest, more minutes will be available for Ryan Nembhard, AJ Johnson, John Poulakidas and Khris Middleton.

Doubtful for Wednesday Marshall is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns with a left hip contusion.

Impact Marshall left Tuesday's game early and was unable to return after 20 minutes. With Marshall expected to sit this contest out, the Mavericks may rely more on Khris Middleton, Tyler Smith and AJ Johnson.

Exits early Tuesday Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers and did not return, finishing with six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), t...

Impact Marshall struggled on the offensive end Tuesday before taking a hard fall and limping to the locker room after attempting to contest a shot in the fourth quarter. It's unclear exactly what the 28-year-old forward is dealing with, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him appear on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game in Phoenix.

Exits to locker room Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact While it's unclear exactly why he headed back to the locker room, Marshall contested a shot and took a hard fall before limping off the court. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

Stuffs stat sheet vs. LAL Marshall recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 134-128 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Even though Cooper Flagg stole the show with a 45-point performance, Marshall was efficient as a shooter and also left his mark in other categories -- he posted at least two tallies in four of the five major categories. Marshall is ending the season on a strong note and has scored in double digits in five of his last six appearances, averaging 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in that stretch.

Impact Marshall was assessed his second technical foul with 10:40 remaining in the final quarter while on the bench, and his ejection came shortly after head coach Jason Kidd was tossed.

Won't play Tuesday Marshall (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Marshall is out for both ends of this back-to-back set with an illness. Max Christie and Khris Middleton should both push for minutes in the 30s for the injury-plagued Mavericks on Tuesday.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Out Monday Marshall (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Marshall was initially listed as probable before being downgraded to questionable Monday, and he's since been ruled out for the front end of this back-to-back set. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday in Milwaukee. With Marshall sidelined, Klay Thompson, Khris Middleton and John Poulakidas are candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Marshall (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Marshall was previously listed as probable, so he's trending in the wrong direction. If he's unable to give it a go, the Mavericks may need Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton to step up.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Under the weather Marshall (illness) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact It looks like Marshall will be able to play through the illness Monday, but his status won't be officially known until closer to the 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff. He has started in each of the Mavericks' last 10 games, and over that span he has averaged 18.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.3 steals over 30.8 minutes per game.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Big night on defense Friday Marshall posted 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and five steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 100-93 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact The five steals were a career high for Marshall, and he's scored at least 16 points in seven of the last eight games. During that stretch, the 28-year-old forward is averaging 20.4 points, 4.8 boards, 4.8 steals, 1.4 steals and 1.1 threes, and as long as he stays healthy he should retain a significant role in the rotation for the injury-depleted Mavs.
