DAVIS BERTANS NEWS

Dealing with illness Bertans is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to an illness.

Impact Bertans was a late addition to the injury report with an illness, which is never a good sign, but it appears Dallas will wait until closer to pre-game warmups to determine his availability. Maxi Kleber (foot) is also questionable, so if both backup big men are sidelined, Christian Wood and JaVale McGee would be the top frontcourt options behind Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell.

Goes 4-of-5 from deep in loss Bertans logged 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 14 minutes during Sunday's 98-97 loss to Denver.

Impact Bertans found his range in the loss, hitting multiple three-pointers for the first time this season. Formerly one of the best perimeter shooters in the league, Bertans has taken a significant tumble over the past few years. Ending as the 381st-ranked player last season, managers would need to see a lot more of this before even considering him a viable commodity.

Makes season debut Bertans (knee) recorded three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and committed three fouls during three minutes of court time in Wednesday's 101-92 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Bertans checked into the game at the start of the second quarter for what was his season debut after he had been slow to recover from the right knee effusion that first cropped up during training camp. Though head coach Jason Kidd gave Bertans a look in the rotation, the 30-year-old picked up three quick fouls and wasn't used again after exiting with 8:32 left in the second quarter. Bertans may find himself outside of the rotation entirely if Maxi Kleber (back) is able to make it back for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
