Luka Doncic - Will be re-evaluated in one month Doncic will be re-evaluated in a month after sustaining a left calf strain on Christmas Day against the Timberwolves, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact This is one of the worst-case scenarios for the Mavericks, as this is not the first time Doncic has had issues in his left calf. The star guard recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes before leaving Wednesday's game, and the Mavericks are expected to be extremely cautious with Doncic's recovery process. Quentin Grimes, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy are candidates for increased roles in the backcourt as long as Doncic remains sidelined.

Dereck Lively II - Iffy against Phoenix Lively is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Suns due to a left hip contusion.
Impact Lively is in danger of missing his first game since Dec. 1 on Friday due to a hip injury. If the 20-year-old big man is unable to suit up against Phoneix, Daniel Gafford, Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Brandon Williams - Good to go Friday Williams (thumb) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Williams will return to action Friday after missing Dallas' last six contests due to a thumb injury. However, Williams is averaging just 1.2 points in 4.2 minutes across his five appearances this season, so he is unlikely to significantly impact the Mavericks' rotation.

Kyrie Irving - Puts on a show despite loss Irving racked up 39 points (14-27 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Irving put the Mavericks on his back, helping the team rally from a 28-point deficit, ultimately falling just short of the mark. Luka Doncic played just 16 minutes before a calf injury forced him to the sideline. Initial reports indicate the medical staff are preparing for an extended absence for Doncic, meaning Irving is going to be tasked with doing a lot of the heavy lifting moving forward.
DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
P.J. Washington Jr. - Underwhelming performance in loss Washington logged seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Washington had one of his worst games of the season, scoring fewer than 10 points for the first time in the past 11 games. Although his offensive and defensive production can fluctuate from game to game, his value to this team cannot be overstated. When all is said and done, he provides the Mavericks with a viable threat on both ends of the floor, currently averaging 12.4 points and 7.9 rebounds to go with 2.4 combined steals and blocks.
