There's no doubt that the Dallas Mavericks have had a successful offseason with the additions of D'Angelo Russell and Cooper Flagg, as well as a whole new coaching staff built around Jason Kidd. While the Mavericks could be in store for a special season, health has been one of Dallas' underlying factors that have kept them from achieving success over the last calendar year.
Since before trading Luka Doncic on February 1, the Mavericks have been dealing with a streak of bad luck when it comes to health and illness in the locker room. Not only did Dallas almost have to forfeit games due to not having enough players eligible to suit up, but the Mavericks also lost multiple key players to brutal injuries last season, including Kyrie Irving tearing his ACL in early March and Anthony Davis suffering an abductor strain in his debut game.
