Daniel Gafford’s game against the Lakers was cut short due to injury. The Mavericks’ player suffered a right shoulder injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The incident occurred early in the fourth quarter, with Gafford immediately heading to the locker room.
Gafford’s Performance Before Injury
Prior to his exit, Gafford had contributed seven points, hitting two of four field goals and three of four free throws. He also recorded seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks in his 20 minutes on the court.
Potential Replacement
With Gafford’s status uncertain, Marvin Bagley is the favourite to step into the starting lineup. The Mavericks are scheduled to play the Clippers on Tuesday. Gafford’s availability for that game remains to be seen.
Gafford left the game in obvious pain.
