UPDATE: Gafford has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 MCL sprain and will miss at least six weeks, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

UPDATE: Gafford has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Early in the second quarter of Monday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, Daniel Gafford went to set a pick for Kyrie Irving well above the three-point line but suffered a knee injury after Malik Monk bumped into him. He had to be helped to the locker room.

Prior to exiting, Gafford contributed 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 10 minutes.

It’s a huge blow for the Mavericks as the depth chart at center has been decimated. Dereck Lively has been out for a while, Anthony Davis just suffered an injury, Dwight Powell is out and P.J. Washington is injured. That leaves Kylor Kelley the last man standing.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
