Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Progressing in recovery
The Mavericks announced Friday that Gafford (knee) is showing progress in his recovery and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Gafford was diagnosed with a Grade 3 right MCL sprain in mid-February and was expected to miss at least six weeks. The big man seems to be on track in his recovery from the injury, and he could be available to make his return to the court by early April if he's able to increase his on-court work later this month. With Dereck Lively (ankle) and Anthony Davis (adductor) also out indefinitely, Kai Jones (quadricep) and Dwight Powell could end up seeing most of the minutes at center for the foreseeable future.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Out at least six weeks
Gafford was diagnosed Thursday with a Grade 3 right MCL sprain and will miss at least six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Charania had initially reported Tuesday that the Mavericks would re-evaluate Gafford in two weeks after injuring his knee in Monday's overtime loss to the Kings, but after being diagnosed with a Grade 3 sprain, the veteran center will be in line for an even more extended absence. With Anthony Davis (adductor) and Dereck Lively (ankle) also facing long-term absences, the Mavericks will likely have to lean more heavily on small-ball lineups featuring P.J. Washington (ankle), Kessler Edwards or Olivier-Maxence Prosper at center during the second half of the season. With Gafford now likely to remain out until at least early April, he can safely be dropped in most redraft formats.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: To be re-evaluated in two weeks
Gafford is set to be re-evaluated in two weeks after sustaining a right knee sprain during Monday's 129-128 overtime loss to the Kings, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The big man will join Anthony Davis (thigh), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Dwight Powell (hip) on the sideline for the foreseeable future, leaving the Mavericks extremely thin in the frontcourt. P.J. Washington (ankle) will likely serve as the club's small-ball center, though Kylor Kelley and Olivier-Maxence Prosper could also see a bump in playing time with Gafford on the shelf.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Wednesday
Gafford (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.
Gafford suffered a right knee sprain against Sacramento and will remain sidelined Wednesday. P.J. Washington and ad Kylor Kelley will likely receive the majority of Dallas' center minutes with Dereck Lively (ankle), Anthony Davis (thigh) and Dwight Powell (hip) all out. Gafford's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Miami.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Leaves early with sprained knee
Gafford won't return to Monday's game against the Kings due to a right knee sprain.
The Mavericks didn't wait long to rule Gafford out for the remainder of the game after he collided with the Kings' Malik Monk early in the second quarter, resulting in the Dallas center exiting the contest and requiring assistance walking back to the locker room. Gafford will finish the game with four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds and two assists across 10 minutes. The Mavericks were already thin on frontcourt help heading into the contest with Anthony Davis (adductor) likely to miss multiple weeks and with P.J. Washington (ankle) and Dwight Powell (hip) both sidelined, and Gafford's early exit leaves the team even thinner. Two-way player Kylor Kelley is the only healthy center on the roster, though Dallas may prefer to get by with small-ball lineups for the rest of Monday's contest.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Exits with apparent knee injury
Gafford made a trip to the locker room after exiting in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Kings with an apparent right knee injury, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Gafford grabbed at his knee and struggled to put much weight on his leg while he was helped back to the locker room after he collided with the Kings' Malik Monk early in the quarter. If the big man is ruled out for the rest of the contest, the Mavericks will be left with Kylor Kelley as the lone healthy center on the roster, as Anthony Davis (adductor), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Dwight Powell (hip) were all ruled out in advance of Monday's game.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Available to play
Gafford (shoulder) will be available to play Thursday against Boston.
Gafford exited Tuesday's 118-116 loss to the 76ers with a stinger in his left shoulder, but he brushed off any concerns about it at Wednesday's practice. He's also not showing up at all on the injury report which is a good sign for his fantasy managers. Anthony Davis (abdomen) is questionable for Thursday, so there could be another game until we see how the frontcourt rotation shapes up.
