The Dallas Mavericks are skilled, feisty, and proud. Just because their offense won’t be running through Luka Doncic<\/a> anymore doesn’t mean they’re going to roll over and give up. In fact, the changes that they’ve made under Mavs general manager Nico Harrison have prepared them for this very day.<\/p>\n

Prior to Doncic’s trade, Dallas was 14-16 without Doncic in 2024-25. They’ve gone 3-1 since then, their only defeat being a one-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime. For comparison, the Mavericks were just 31-44 without Doncic prior to this season.<\/p>\n

Mavs Address Center Woes, Sign Moses Brown<\/h2>\n

The Mavs do have depth concerns, as multiple big men are now sidelined by injury.<\/p>\n

In fact, starters Anthony Davis<\/a> and Daniel Gafford<\/a> are expected to be out for weeks as they recover from their respective injuries. Dereck Lively II<\/a> will be out for the rest of the season due to a foot fracture, In the long run, Davis, Gafford and Lively should be fine. However, in the interim, Dallas needs to slap a band-aid<\/a> onto their open wound.<\/p>\n

They’re doing just that, signing center Moses Brown<\/a> to a 10-day contract, per ESPN senior insider Shams Charania.<\/p>\n
