独行侠四人缺阵赛季揭幕战对阵火箭
4 Mavericks Ruled Out of Season Opener Against Houston Rockets - Sports Illustrated
达拉斯独行侠在赛季揭幕战对阵休斯敦火箭前已确定四人缺阵，中锋德里克·莱夫利二世（右脚手术恢复中）、前锋桑蒂·阿尔达马（右膝手术后未完全康复）、射手塔里克·比贝罗维奇（右跟腱滑囊炎）和侧翼凯莱布·马丁（右拇指扭伤）均无法出战。双向合同射手杰特·霍华德因右小腿发紧出战成疑。火箭方面，中锋史蒂文·亚当斯（右小腿酸痛）和侧翼朱利安·菲利普斯（生病）出战成疑。
The Dallas Mavericks will start their season tonight against the Houston Rockets at 7 p.m. CST. It's the dawn of a new era, led by a new head coach (Dusty May), general manager (Mike Schmitz), and team president (Masai Ujiri).
While you always hope to start the season with everyone fully healthy, that is not the case for the Mavericks, as they have already ruled out four players ahead of the opener.
Center Dereck Lively II had right foot surgery back in December, and he is still recovering from it. That injury limited him to just 7 games last season, and no timeline has been provided for when he might be available this season.
The Mavericks want Lively to take his time in his recovery, and Lively wants to make sure he's as healthy as possible moving forward in his career.
Forward Santi Aldama had right knee surgery in March, and he is not quite 100% yet. Coach May has said that he's close to being ready for the last week, so hopefully this doesn't keep him out for too much longer.
Sharpshooter Tarik Biberovic is dealing with some right heel bursitis, which will keep him out of this contest. There hasn't been any timeline provided for his return, but an injury like this can last anywhere between a few days and a few weeks, depending on the severity.
The Mavericks acquired Aldama and the draft rights to Biberovic in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies this offseason, in which they sent out AJ Johnson and some draft picks.
Wing Caleb Martin will miss this game due to a right thumb sprain. He wasn't projected to be a big part of the rotation anyways, given his limited offensive game.
The newest addition to the injury report is two-way sharpshooter Jett Howard, who is now questionable to play due to tightness in his right calf.
Houston Rockets Injuries
As of 9:30 CST, the Rockets only have two players on the injury report.
Center Steven Adams is questionable to play due to tightness/soreness in his right calf. The NBA as a whole is being extremely cautious with calf injuries due to the uptick in Achilles tears, so it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't play.
Wing Julian Phillips is also questionable due to an illness. He signed a two-way contract with the Rockets this offseason.
This game will be on KFAA/WFAA, SCHN, and NBA League Pass.
