The hits keep coming for the Mavericks as Olivier-Maxence Prosper looks to be out for the rest of the season
The Dallas Mavericks may have just lost their third starter for the season as Olivier-Maxence Prosper deals with a wrist injury.
It seems that Nico Harrison cursed the Dallas Mavericks when he traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. Since that fateful day, things have gone downhill for the Mavs.
One more blow to the Mavericks' front court
Harrison traded Doncic in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick. Since then, fans have protested and the Mavs team has suffered injuries on injuries, the first of which was to AD himself.
AD played 31 minutes for the Mavericks before suffering an adductor strain. Although they’ve reported that he’s been progressing well, they’ve given no indication on when or even if he’ll return this season. With him out and Luka gone, the weight fell on Kyrie Irving, who was never meant to play that role. Shortly after, Irving suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
Now, the Mavs have suffered yet another brutal blow as forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper is expected to undergo season-ending surgery on his right wrist. Prosper averages 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, shooting 40.2 percent from the floor this season.
