Mavs Star Out: Illness Sidelines Key Player vs. Knicks

The Dallas Mavericks are set to play the New York Knicks without a crucial player, Cooper Flagg, who will be absent due to illness. This marks the first game this season where Flagg, averaging 15.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists, will not be in the lineup.

Adding to the team's roster concerns, Anthony Davis remains out with a left calf strain sustained in late October. He is anticipated to undergo re-evaluation for his injury sometime next week. The Mavericks have struggled significantly, holding a 2-8 record in his absence.

In more positive news, centers Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford are listed as probable for the matchup against the Knicks. Both players missed the recent game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to injury management. This is a critical juncture for the Mavericks, who have played a disproportionate number of home games early in the season.
