Dallas' Dereck Lively II recently underwent a procedure on his right foot,
@TheSteinLine has learned, followed by placement in a boot.
This means three key Mavericks are in injury recovery: Kyrie Irving (knee), Anthony Davis (eye) and Lively.
I am consistent in being OUT on often injured players, whether it's the Mavericks, Rangers or Cowboys. The biggest predictor of future injuries is past injuries.
Therefore, even before this surgery news, I am not a Lively guy at all. If someone values him as a franchise center, I would look into moving him. You have Gafford and AD to cover that position. I really like the kid but he's missing 50% of games at 20 and 21 years old, with various different injuries.
