The Dallas Mavericks could become one of the most dominant teams in the Western Conference next season when healthy. This is a message former Mavs great Dirk Nowitzki agrees with. He believes Dallas' season hinges on the status of Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and Dereck Lively II. If the players mentioned, along with their teammates, can stay healthy, the sky is the limit for the Mavericks.
Last season, Dallas suffered a bad case of the injury bug. It hit the team hard during the second half of the season when players began to fall. For example, Davis, the player traded for Luka Doncic, missed 18 games with the team after suffering an adductor injury in his debut game.
