Luka Doncic has a new mask to protect his broken nose. He briefly wore Maxi Kleber’s mask before ditching it the other night.
In other Mavs broken nose news, Dereck Lively will get a workout in today for first time since his operation. Possible he’s ready to return next week. pic.twitter.com/Gu3IvTsS1N2:15 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault said one of the things that impressed him the most about Gordon Hayward is that “he realizes this team is on a great track and what’s to be additive of that, not detract from that” – 1:43 PM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
Mark Daigneault on Gordon Hayward: “He’s on the doorstep. He could probably play today. We’re just going through our protocols.” – 1:43 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault said Gordon Hayward is “on the door step, he could probably play today, we are just making sure he goes through our [return to play] protocols” said it also helps to “put him out ahead” with the team taking this time to get him adjusted to the team. – 1:42 PM

Mark Daigneault on Lindy Waters III being signed to a standard deal: “He’s a proven guy. Starting with the Blue, a couple two-way stints… Somebody that we feel very comfortable with, somebody that is very comfortable in our system, is a great system player.” – 1:38 PM

Dallas Mavericks PR @MavsPR
Luka Dončić (broken nose), Kyrie Irving (right thumb sprain) and Maxi Kleber (right small toe dislocation) will be AVAILABLE today against the Thunder.
Dereck Lively II (nasal fracture) and Dante Exum (right knee bursitis) will be OUT. – 1:20 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Bismack Biyombo gives the Thunder that change of pace we’ve discussed is so valuable on Locked On without fully abandoning their play style. Plays better than 6’8, 255:
Really good PnR roll man option, dump off in the dunker spot, actually good in transition, converts 70% of the… – 1:20 PM

Eddie Sefko @ESefko
New Maverick center Daniel Gafford tried football for a bit when he was in high school. “I played football for one year. I couldn’t catch a cold if it was given to me,” he said. He’s much better at catching lobs. Incidentally, he said: “I got the 49ers tomorrow, most definitely.” – 12:58 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Mavericks will be without Dereck Lively II (nasal surgery) today against Thunder (2 p.m. tip). Dante Exum (knee) also out. Lively’s absence means newcomer Daniel Gafford is in line for healthy minutes, as is P.J. Washington. Both are active. Newcomer Gordon Hayward out for OKC. – 12:09 PM
