The Dallas Mavericks barely finagled a victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, with injuries on both sides severely altering this game's trajectory. Mavericks superstar Anthony Davis suffered lower leg soreness after just seven minutes of action in the first quarter, as Davis wasn't able to play the rest of the contest, and now it seems like the Mavericks will be down all three of their rotational bigs once again.
The Mavericks and Nico Harrison have been lauding their size and physicality at the rim, but Dereck Lively II, Anthony Davis, and Daniel Gafford have rarely all been healthy at the same time since the Luka Doncic trade, compromising the identity Harrison envisions for this Mavericks team.
