SAN ANTONIO – If you’re looking for the best bargain on the Mavericks’ roster this season, look no further than Kessler Edwards. The man has paid for his modest, two-way contract many times over. The 6-8 Edwards is earning $578,577 on his two-way deal. It allows him to be active for a maximum of 50 […]
SAN ANTONIO – If you listened closely to the postgame interviews after the Mavericks nicked the San Antonio Spurs 133-129 on Monday, you heard some news that should be very heartening to MFFLs. Klay Thompson was discussing the way the Mavericks are handling their brim-full injury list and took the moment to praise the play […]
SAN ANTONIO – The Mavericks lived by one of the oldest sayings in the book on Monday night. It’s about quality, not quantity. With only eight bodies – seven during the final six minutes of the game – they dug deep for a 133-129 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center. It […]
SAN ANTONIO – It’s not often that a team can have the rookie of the year two seasons in a row, but the San Antonio Spurs may have a shot at it. Stephon Castle, the No. 4 overall pick last summer, has put together a solid rookie season and he’s peaking at the right time. […]

It had been a solid two games since the Mavericks had an injury scare, so naturally, they were due for more health issues on Sunday afternoon. Late in the third quarter of their 125-116 loss to the Phoenix Suns, the Mavericks watched Dwight Powell and Kessler Edwards – their last big men standing – run […]
The last time the Mavericks and Phoenix Suns met it was Dec. 27, the first game that Luka Doncic missed after his calf injury on Christmas. Things have changed a bit since then. Nobody knew then that Doncic would never again play for the Mavericks, ultimately being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Nor could […]
With four starters now on the injury list, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd acknowledged that at the moment he doesn’t have a clear-cut number one offensive option on his team. The situation at this point just doesn’t call for that. “No, there’s no number one option,” Kidd said following Friday’s disappointing 122-111 loss to the […]
The Dallas Mavericks gave updates on Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford on Friday, and all three players are trending in the right direction in recovery from their injuries. Davis has missed the last 11 games because of a strained left adductor and is improving daily to the point that the Mavs have […]
