The Dallas Mavericks are facing yet another injury blow as forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper is set to undergo season-ending surgery due to a serious right wrist injury. The 2023 first-round pick had been showing promise, averaging 5.9 points and 3.1 rebounds over the last 24 games, but he now joins star guard Kyrie Irving and several others on the injury list. Coach Jason Kidd confirmed Prosper's absence without elaborating, leaving the team to navigate the remainder of the season with a significantly depleted roster.

The Mavericks have been particularly hard hit this season, with Irving already sidelined after tearing his ACL and several other key players like Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II also out indefinitely. Despite these setbacks, Dallas is bringing in guards Dante Exum and Caleb Martin to bolster their lineup. As the season progresses, the management will need to reassess their strategies, especially with the playoffs on the horizon.
