NBA Mavericks restricted area room leak happened to rain overnight, after A. Davis fell, center Gafford also retired due to injury on the 11th, and the news on the 12th pointed out that he will miss at least two weeks.
A. Davis left the game in the first game with an injury and is expected to miss several weeks
The Mavericks have continued to suffer injuries in the restricted area this season, with starting center Lylie sidelined with a stress fracture in his right ankle and backup center Powell also sidelined with a hip injury. In the shocking trade case with the Lakers' Doncic, the Mavericks sent away the inside lineman Kleber who fractured his right foot, but new classmate A. Davis was injured in the first game, and now Gafford also fell to the ground due to injury, making the Mavericks' restricted area almost a vacuum.
Today's update states that Gafford has a sprained right knee and will be assessed in two weeks, meaning he will have to miss at least two weeks. In addition, Charania also mentioned on the show that A. Davis needs a few weeks of recovery period, and this is a brutal blow to them, because A. Davis showed quite amazing dominance in the Mavericks' first game.
Spread out the Mavericks restricted area, the current three main rotations are unable to play, and power forward Washington is also out of the game against the Kings due to an ankle injury. The Mavericks may then have to use center Kelly, who has only played five games this season, as the starting center, or play small-ball tactics to give the 6-foot-8" rookie power forward Prosper more playing time.
