DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks say center Dereck Lively II has a stress fracture in his right ankle and will be re-evaluated in a month. It's the latest setback for a promising young player who has had issues with injuries in both his seasons. Lively has been sidelined the past three games with what the team said was a right ankle sprain. He has missed 11 overall this season with a variety of injuries. The 20-year-old former Duke standout was limited to 55 games by injuries as a rookie in 2023-24.
