'I Hope I'm Not Traded': Christian Wood Wants to Stay with Luka Doncic, Mavs Following the acquisition of Kyrie Irving, speculation on the future of Christian Wood continues to build in Dallas.
Good to go Monday Wood (thumb) has been upgraded to available for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Wood missed Dallas' last eight games with a fractured left thumb and is still dealing with some bruising, but it won't be anything that prevents him from playing for the first time since Jan. 18, per Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News. The Mavericks are missing Luka Doncic (heel), and Kyrie Irving won't be ready to make his team debut until Wednesday, so Wood could be in store for heavy usage in his return to action.

Questionable Monday Wood (thumb) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Wood has missed the last eight games due to a fractured left thumb, but the Mavericks hope he'll be able to return Monday against Utah or Wednesday against the Clippers. If he's available Monday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction.

Won't play Saturday Wood (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Golden State.
Impact Wood was considered unlikely to play Saturday, but the Mavericks are optimistic that he'll be available Monday against the Jazz or Wednesday against the Clippers. He's been progressing in his recovery from a fractured left thumb recently, as he was fully cleared for practice Thursday before participating in a post-practice scrimmage Friday. Dwight Powell should continue to see increased run Saturday, but Wood's return appears to be imminent.

Inching closer to return Wood (thumb) said he's unlikely to play Saturday against the Warriors, but there's a strong possibility he's able to suit up for Monday's matchup in Utah or Wednesday's contest ver...
Impact Wood was fully cleared for practice Thursday and participated in a post-practice scrimmage Friday, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com, but it appears he'll remain out for at least one more contest and attempt to return sometime during Dallas' upcoming five-game road trip. He's already missed seven consecutive matchups, but since he's not dealing with a lower-body issue, he shouldn't have conditioning limitations when he eventually suits up. Wood's return couldn't come at a better time, as the Mavericks lost Luka Doncic (heel) and Davis Bertans (calf) to injuries during Thursday's matchup against New Orleans, and it's currently unclear if those two will be able to play anytime soon.

Fully cleared for practice Wood (thumb) has been fully cleared to practice, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Wood has spent nearly two weeks on the sidelines recovering from a fractured thumb, but getting fully cleared for practice is the final step in his rehab, and he will accompany the team on its upcoming five-game road trip. Once he gets through a few full practices, Wood should be cleared to return, so there's a chance he could be back in action for Week 17. Stay tuned.

Sustains fractured thumb Wood sustained a fractured left thumb in the second quarter of Wednesday's game against Atlanta and will be re-evaluated next week.
Impact Wood had been especially productive for the Mavericks over the last few weeks, as he posted double-doubles in four of his last seven appearances and averaged 21.1 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 35.0 minutes per game. A better idea of his return timetable could come into focus once he's re-evaluated, but Dwight Powell, Davis Bertans and JaVale McGee are candidates to see increased run in Wood's absence.

Third straight 20-point game Wood logged 22 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 130-122 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Wood scored 11 of his 22 points in the third quarter on 4-of-6 shooting from the field before chipping in just two more points in the final period. He added nine boards in the contest, which tied Dorian Finney-Smith for the team lead, while also connecting on three attempts from beyond the arc for just the third time this month. Wood has now broken the 20-point mark in three straight contests and in five of his last six.
