The Dallas Mavericks were without a pivotal piece of their lineup to close out Monday’s meeting with the Golden State Warriors.
As overtime began at American Airlines Center, the Mavericks ruled center Daniel Gafford out with a right shoulder contusion. Gafford sustained the injury late in the fourth quarter when he collided with Draymond Green as he chased a rebound.
Gafford has missed several games this season due to injury. He finished Monday’s game with 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists. The Mavericks had to play the entire overtime period without the center.
