"INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- The Dallas Mavericks' injury list expanded during pregame warmups, when forward P.J. Washington sprained his right ankle. Washington suffered the injury when he landed on a basketball minutes before the opening tip against the LA Clippers. Washington was a late scratch from the starting lineup. He was ruled out for the game midway through the first quarter. Dallas was already without its top three big men."
"Anthony Davis sat out the second night of the back-to-back after returning from a monthlong absence due to a left calf strain in Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Daniel Gafford was unavailable due to right ankle injury management, as he's been dealing with soreness in the ankle that he sprained during the first practice of training camp. Dereck Lively II did not make the road trip with the team. He's being evaluated for swelling and discomfort in his surgically repaired right foot."
