DALLAS — As the Dallas Mavericks prepare to face the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, they are dealing with a growing list of injury and illness concerns that could challenge their depth. The latest addition to the injury report is Daniel Gafford, who is now listed as questionable due to illness—making him the fourth player to carry this designation.

Gafford, who contributed 10 points and 9 rebounds in the Mavericks' 129-119 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, could face a heavier workload if he can suit up, especially with the team already missing several key players.

Luka Dončić (right wrist sprain) and Danté Exum (right wrist surgery) are confirmed to be out, while Klay Thompson (left foot plantar fascia), Dereck Lively II (illness), and Quentin Grimes (illness) are all listed as questionable. With multiple players uncertain for the game, the Mavericks are again facing a test of their depth as they attempt to build on a hard-earned victory in Atlanta.
