• Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Non-existent role continues

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Powell notched no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder. Powell continues to play a limited role off the bench, averaging 8.1 minutes per game across 19 games. The Mavericks have two centers ahead of Powell in the rotation, something that does not bode well for his immediate playing future. At this stage, Powell would need both Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford out of the way to have any chance of playing a meaningful role.

• Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Limited run in loss

  11/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Powell ended Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Jazz with zero points (0-1 FG), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 13 minutes. The veteran center reached the double-digit mark in minutes for his fourth consecutive contest, and he has seen a slight uptick in playing time with P.J. Washington (knee) sidelined. Powell has appeared in four of the Mavericks' last five games, during which Dereck Lively and Washington have both missed time. In this four-game span, Powell has averaged 4.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals across 18.0 minutes per game.

• Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Scoreless again in loss

  Powell played seven minutes in Monday's 134-127 loss to the Pacers and did not record a stat. While Powell has yet to contribute meaningful minutes this season, his opportunity could come with Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out and Dereck Lively (shoulder) questionable for Wednesday's game versus Chicago. When they return, however, it is likely Powell will see the court only in limited fashion for the majority of contests.

• Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Scores nine in victory

  Powell compiled nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT), two steals and one rebound in 19 minutes during Canada's 88-85 win over Spain on Friday. Powell was held to single-digit points once again during Friday's matchup, but he recorded multiple steals for a second consecutive game. It wouldn't be surprising to see him maintain a starting role during the knockout round, but he's been a somewhat inconsistent contributor to begin the Olympics.

• Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Returns to reserve role

  Powell won't start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Clippers on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. With Dallas resting its regulars, Powell drew a spot start during the regular-season finale and posted two points, eight rebounds, a steal and a block in 27 minutes during a loss to Oklahoma City. With Dereck Lively (knee) and Daniel Gafford healthy, Powell isn't guaranteed consistent playing time during the postseason.
