Daniel Gafford Ruled Out for Friday's Game vs. Cavaliers

Daniel Gafford has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to ankle injury maintenance. The Mavericks are resting him for the second leg of their back-to-back set. Gafford was highly productive in Thursday's win over Memphis, recording 22 points, 14 rebounds, and one block in 27 minutes. With his absence, Marvin Bagley is expected to move into the starting unit, while Dwight Powell will also see increased involvement in the Dallas frontcourt.
