Dallas has 9 players on the injury report for the Celtics game
On Tuesday evening, Dallas Mavericks will hit the floor at home for a nationally televised game against the Boston Celtics in the second leg of the NBA Finals in 2024. Let me say The Mavericks have a tricky injury situation for this game would be an understatement, as Dallas has nine players on the injury report ahead of the match. Here’s everything we know about the injury status of the various Mavericks heading into the game with Boston.
The Mavericks injury situation against the Celtics on Tuesday night
Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and Dante Exum will stay out of the lineup due to various lingering injuries on Tuesday against the Celtics. Meanwhile, Moussa Cisse is questionable and Myles Kelly is likely due to their G-League situations, while Ryan Nembhardt is likely for the same reason.
Brandon Williams is questionable after suffering a leg contusion in the Mavericks’ last weekend game against the Houston Rockets, while PJ Washington has been ruled out because he is in the concussion protocol.
The Celtics have no injuries to report other than Jayson Tatum, who is still recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in last year’s playoffs.
The good news for the Mavericks is that Cooper Flagg is not on the injury report at all. Flagg has been on fire lately, recently dropping 49 points on the Charlotte Hornets, then putting together another impressive performance on Saturday against the Rockets.
Flagg has been the lone beacon of hope for the Mavericks this year as trade rumors swirl around the franchise, most of which involve Davis before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.
Meanwhile, the Celtics have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA this season, with Jaylen Brown playing at an All-NBA level in Tatum’s absence.
Tipoff between the Mavericks and Celtics is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET from Dallas.
