Mavericks vs. Spurs Preview

Time: 8 p.m. ET

How to Watch: NBA League Pass

The Spurs are playing the rest of this season without star C Victor Wembanyama (shoulder), which has put their hopes for the 2025 season in the gutter. F Jeremy Sochan (calf) missed Monday’s matchup and is listed as questionable to play Wednesday. F Devin Vassell (wrist) is also listed as questionable. Spurs SG Devin Vassell is also questionable with an injury to his shooting wrist. Finally, C Charles Bassey (knee) will miss his ninth straight game.

The Mavericks have been absolutely hammered by injuries. G Kyrie Irving (knee) is out for the season. F/C Anthony Davis (thigh), C Daniel Gafford (knee), and C Dereck Lively II (ankle) also remain sidelined. 

As if losing those four leading players wasn’t enough, F P.J. Washington (ankle), G Jaden Hardy (ankle), F Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist), and C Kai Jones (quadriceps) have also missed time. Hardy, Prosper, and Jones all won’t play Wednesday. Washington, G Brandon Williams (hamstring), and G Dante Exum (hamstring) are listed as questionable.

Both teams are beat up coming into this game. On Monday, the Mavs were led by Spencer Dinwiddie (28 points), Klay Thompson (26 points), and Naji Marshall (23 points). The Spurs leaned on Keldon Johnson (28 points) and Harrison Barnes (29 points), plus 24 points from Vassell. Those aren’t exactly the scoring leaders we’d expect from these teams, but it’s where they’re at to end the season.
