Dereck Lively II Facing Extended Absence Due To Foot Injury

Dereck Lively II is expected to be out for an extended period. Lively has appeared in only seven of 19 games so far this season with the Dallas Mavericks after undergoing offseason foot surgery and having a recent knee issue. Lively didn’t play for the Mavericks on Monday due to foot injury management as he has been experiencing swelling and discomfort.

Lively is averaging 4.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks in 16.5 minutes this season. Lively has been limited to just 55 games as a rookie and 36 games last season due to injury issues.

Lively underwent surgery in the offseason to remove bone spurs from his right foot. Lively will be reevaluated in seven to 10 days.
