Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II to have season-ending surgery
- The Mavericks announced Wednesday that Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II will undergo season-ending right foot surgery in London, with Dr. James Calder performing the procedure.
- Medical advisers say the decision followed persistent discomfort in Lively’s right foot after his return and multiple medical opinions following an offseason procedure.
- By the end of his third season the 21-year-old will have missed 148 of 246 possible games, and when healthy Lively has produced 8.4 points and 7.0 rebounds across 98 games.
- His final game was a 118-115 victory over New Orleans on Nov. 21, and Lively had limited time alongside Anthony Davis while Nico Harrison, former general manager, was fired last month.
- At 7-foot-1, Lively served as a strong pick-and-roll partner with Luka Dončić before the Mavericks traded their young superstar, and he also missed much of Cooper Flagg’s rookie season.
