Mavericks sign Dwight Powell

Dwight Powell

DAL Forward-Center #7

Player Stats

Mavericks signed Dwight Powell.

The long-time Maverick will have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot when the team opens training camp next week. Powell appeared in 63 games last season, starting 12, and averaged 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. With Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II healthy, and the additions of Santi Aldama and Morez Johnson Jr., Powell faces tough odds to earn rotation minutes if he makes the Opening Night roster.

Dwight Powell

FA Forward-Center #7

Mavericks waived Dwight Powell.

Powell appeared in 63 games for the Mavericks last season, and there was hope he would remain with the team after agreeing to a non-guaranteed deal just before training camp began. However, with plenty of frontcourt options, the Mavericks waived Powell to get down to 15 standard contracts. His exit does not affect fantasy basketball, but the Mavericks lose a valuable voice in the locker room.
Daniel Gafford

DAL Forward-Center #21

Daniel Gafford (rest) and Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) have been ruled out against the Bulls on Sunday.

Both bigs were initially doubtful for this game, and they have now officially been ruled out. Moussa Cissé and Dwight Powell should fill the minutes at center for the season finale. Gafford’s fantasy value in 2026-27 probably depends a lot on how healthy Dereck Lively is, but he has a chance to produce if given a path to major playing time.
Daniel Gafford

DAL Forward-Center #21

Daniel Gafford (rest) and Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) are doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Sunday’s game won’t impact anything beyond draft lottery odds, so the Mavericks are likely to put out a rotation that lacks most of the team’s proven players. With Gafford and Bagley considered doubtful for the regular season finale, Moussa Cissé should play plenty with veteran Dwight Powell also available to log rotation minutes at the five.
Dwight Powell

DAL Forward-Center #7

Dwight Powell provided a boost off the bench with four points (2-of-4 FGs), 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block against the Spurs.

With Daniel Gafford (rest) out and Marvin Bagley (shoulder) exiting early, Powell ended up playing 24 minutes off the bench and contributing a well-rounded stat line. Moussa Cisse ended up playing 19 minutes and contributed seven points, eight rebounds, two steals and three blocks. The pair were able to provide strong minutes down low, and if Gafford and Bagley remain out for the season finale on Sunday, Powell and Cisse should fill the center minutes once again.
Marvin Bagley

DAL Forward #35

Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is questionable to return to Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Bagley has been managing a shoulder injury recently, but he tried to play through it for this game. However, there is a chance his night is over after just eight minutes. If that’s the case, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse will fill the center minutes for the rest of this game.
Dwight Powell

DAL Forward-Center #7

Dwight Powell (hip) is available for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Powell is good to go after initially being questionable for Friday’s game. He should slot in as the backup center, with Marvin Bagley III once again starting for Daniel Gafford (rest).
Marvin Bagley

DAL Forward #35

Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) and Dwight Powell (hip) are questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Spurs.

Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington are both doubtful, so if Bagley III and Powell end up sitting, Moussa Cisse could be in line for a big role in Dallas’ shorthanded frontcourt.
Marvin Bagley

DAL Forward #35

Marvin Bagley (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is doubtful, so Bagley should start if he plays. If not, that responsibility will be pushed down to Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse, who will split the minutes down low.
Daniel Gafford

DAL Forward-Center #21

Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is doubtful to play against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Gafford exited early on Sunday and is expected to remain out against LA. Marvin Bagley (shoulder) is questionable, but if he plays, he’ll fill out the starting center spot. If not, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse will split the minutes down low.
Marvin Bagley

DAL Forward #35

Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is available for Sunday’s game against the Lakers.

Bagley, who was initially probable for Sunday’s game, is good to go. He’ll come off the bench, which means fewer minutes for Dwight Powell.

Johnson was upgraded to probable earlier in the day after playing 17 minutes on Friday night. He’ll be on a minutes restriction, though head coach Dusty May didn’t give an official cap for his workload. He should see a similar role to what he saw on Friday.
