The Dallas Mavericks have provided a promising update regarding Dereck Lively II’s availability for Game 5 of the Western Conference finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The rookie center, who has played a pivotal role off the bench, is currently listed as questionable, alongside Luka Doncic.
Despite Lively II’s absence in Game 4, which resulted in a loss for the Mavericks on their home court, the team maintains a commanding 3-1 series lead as they prepare to face the Timberwolves in Minneapolis.
Throughout the postseason, Lively II has proven to be a valuable contributor off the bench, averaging 8.5 points and 7.1 rebounds in just over 21 minutes per game.
