Dereck Lively Questionable for Friday's Game, Return Appears Imminent

Dereck Lively (knee) is listed as questionable for the Dallas Mavericks' Friday game against the Clippers, according to Christian Clark of The Athletic. Lively has been sidelined for the past nine games, but his questionable status for the second consecutive time suggests that his return to the court is on the horizon. If Lively remains out, Moussa Cisse is expected to continue playing a significant role behind Daniel Gafford at the center position, especially given the uncertain status of Anthony Davis (calf).
