Mike Curtis: Jason Kidd on the plan for Anthony Davis: “Hopefully it’s not long. He’s going better, but we’ll see here in the next couple days of how long he’ll be out.” Kidd also said Daniel Gafford will start in the interim and they’ll need Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse to step up.
The Mavericks have upgraded Klay Thompson (left knee soreness), Max Christie (illness) and Dwight Powell (illness) to probable for Christmas Day's game against Golden State. Brandon Williams (right ankle sprain) is also probable, and PJ Washington (right midfoot soreness) is questionable.
Mike Curtis: Jason Kidd said PJ Washington and Brandon Williams are questionable for tonight’s game against the Nuggets. Dwight Powell, Klay Thompson and Max Christie are out.
Mike Curtis: #Mavs center Dwight Powell (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful, while two-ways Moussa Cisse and Miles Kelly have been upgraded to probable. Everyone else’s status remains the same.

Kevin Gray Jr.: I’ve reached out to multiple sources with knowledge regarding the report that Mavericks C Dwight Powell intends to retire at the end of the year. At this time those sources say they can not confirm the report that Powell intends to retire with one source saying it was “news to them.” #MFFL
Marc Stein: The Mavericks' Dwight Powell is activating his $4 million player option for next season, league sources tell @TheSteinLine. Powell had until Tuesday to exercise or bypass the option. More NBA from @JakeLFischer and me: tinyurl.com/3e2wtdbd
No teammate has played more NBA games alongside Dončić than Powell. The two also faced each other internationally, most recently at the 2023 FIBA World Cup in Manila, where Powell’s Canadian team defeated Dončić’s Slovenian squad. “We spent a lot of years together and shared a lot of great memories,” Powell told RG. “We had great times on the court, obviously, and great times off the court as well — even competing in the summers, the national team and whatnot, and being able to come back the following preseason and have that bragging rights, whichever way it went.”

Dončić was traded to the Lakers on Feb. 2 in a deal that sent Anthony Davis and Max Christie to Dallas. Powell said both new additions have made a strong impression. “Competitors. They’re here for the right reasons, and they want to help us be successful,” Powell said. “That’s all you can ask for in this league. So I’m excited to get everybody kind of get the chemistry going, and I think we’ve seen glimpses and I think we’ll continue to see more. Just excited for everybody to continue to grow together.”

The Mavericks — losers in seven of their last eight games — barely have been able to field a team for much of March. Dwight Powell, Dallas’ only healthy center, played in the team’s three-game trip with stitches in his forehead after he collided with teammate Kessler Edwards on Sunday. Lively (right ankle stress fracture) last played Jan. 14. Gafford (right knee sprain) has been sidelined since Feb. 10. Washington and Jaden Hardy have been sidelined for much of this month with ankle injuries. “We are playing with basically no bigs,” Mavericks forward Naji Marshall said. “A lot of us are 6-7, 6-6 out there. Şengün is an All-Star big. Other guys are 6-10. We are trying our hardest. With what we are doing right now, we have to get through it.”
Brad Townsend: Kidd says Exum continues to be on a minutes restriction, 20-25 minutes. Also, Powell and Martin and Williams are on minute restrictions. So Mavs have 9 players and four are on minute restrictions. What a mess.
