Naji Marshall Ruled Out Against Raptors, Mavericks Have New Jaden Hardy Injury Update
The Mavericks (15-8) face the Raptors (7-16) without Naji Marshall (illness) and likely Jaden Hardy (ankle) as they aim to extend their hot streak.

He will miss his fourth consecutive full game while carrying an illness designation. The Mavs have won 10 of their last 11 games and will look to continue the momentum against their rebuilding opponent.
Jaden Hardy injured his right ankle in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s 137-101 victory over the Washington Wizards.
