The Dallas Mavericks could be without two important frontcourt players in their upcoming game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Dallas Mavericks / Schedule
Center Daniel Gafford is listed as doubtful due to rest, while forward PJ Washington is also doubtful with left ankle soreness.
Both players have played key roles in the Mavericks rotation this season, and their possible absence would weaken Dallas inside the paint.
The injury report also includes Naji Marshall, who is questionable with left foot soreness, adding more uncertainty to the Mavericks lineup. On the other hand, Caleb Martin is probable despite dealing with a left finger sprain.
Gafford has averaged 9.0 points and 6.8 rebounds in 48 games this season, providing rim protection and energy around the basket.
Washington has been a key scoring option in the frontcourt, putting up 13.8 points and 6.9 rebounds across 48 appearances.
The Mavericks currently sit 12th in the Western Conference with a 22-44 record.
