Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Undergoes foot surgery
Rotowire
Lively underwent surgery Tuesday to clean up bone spurs in his right foot, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Charania reports that Lively is expected to be ready for training camp, though this is an unfortunate setback for him as it could mess up his offseason training regimen. Lively was limited to 36 regular-season games in 2024-25 in which he posted averages of 8.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 blocks in 23.1 minutes. With Anthony Davis likely to play some center and Daniel Gafford fresh off a contract extension, there is quite a logjam in Dallas' frontcourt.
Cisse tallied eight points (4-7 FG), four rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 16 minutes during Monday's 87-69 Summer League loss to the Hornets.
Cisse led Dallas' bench in points, finishing as the team's third-leading scorer. He was also the only player to record multiple steals and multiple blocks. The 22-year-old big man spent his final collegiate season with Memphis, averaging 5.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks across 18.2 minutes per game in 35 outings.

The No. 1 overall pick out of Duke in the 2025 NBA Draft has the tools to become a two-way star, and it will be worth monitoring how many more games he appears in this summer before the team opts to shut him down.
