What happened to Daniel Gafford? Live injury update 11/7/25 vs. Grizzlies

NBA

Daniel Gafford left Friday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies with 9:58 left in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, it was announced that Gafford would not return due to right ankle soreness.

There’s been no mention of when the injury occurred.

Prior to exiting, Gafford contributed one rebound in 12 minutes of action. If Gafford misses an extended period of time, the Mavericks will be very thin at center because Dereck Lively II and Anthony Davis are both out due to injury. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse would likely soak up most of the playing time at center if all of Gafford, Lively and Davis are out.

Dallas next plays on Saturday in Washington.

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.
