Dallas Maverick’s center Daniel Gafford was assisted by the court during the team’s matchup against the visiting Sacramento Kings on Monday due to a justified right knee.
During the second quarter, the big man put a screen at the top of the key for guard Spencer Dinwiddie. Kings Guard Malik Monk collided into forkord, which fell down with a visible knee injury.
Mavericks announced that Gafford would not return to the game.
It is another crushing blow for Mavericks, who recently lost both Anthony Davis and PJ Washington to injuries. Davis is out indefinitely with an abduction injury, while Washington is on the side due to a right ankle.
In addition, the latest trade acquisition Caleb Martin is out due to a hip injury.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper played a bigger role on Monday in the exhausted frontcourt.
This season for average for average 12.3 points, 6.9 returns and 1.9 blocks. In particular, he has been credited with 5.5 victory.
