Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford went down with a right ankle injury in the third quarter of Wednesday night's game against the Miami Heat, and he did not return to the contest. This will be a major blow for Dallas, considering how dominant he can be down low when he's at his best, and the Mavericks' injury curse from last season seems to be creeping into the 2025-26 season.
Daniel Gafford was grabbing his right ankle and just went back to the locker room.
Gafford was questionable for tonight’s game with right ankle injury management, but was ruled available to play.
