Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively will be back in action for Tuesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, as reported by Kevin Gray Jr. of AllDLLS.com. Lively, who has been sidelined for the past four games due to a right shoulder sprain, is ready to make his return to the lineup.

In his second NBA season, Lively has been a solid contributor off the bench, averaging 9.3 points and 8.2 rebounds over six appearances so far in the 2024-25 campaign. His presence will be a welcome boost for the Mavericks as they look to strengthen their interior game against a strong Warriors squad.
