On Wednesday, it is anticipated that Doncic will practice again.Dereck Lively II, a rookie with the Dallas Mavericks who has been recovering from a nasal fracture, was visible wearing a mask on Tuesday but was still able to practice.
Lively took part in the NBA Rising Stars Challenge alongside Doncic during All-Star weekend. For Lively, being able to take part in the event was a well-earned honor. In addition, it allowed Lively to get used to donning the mask—something he was questioned about after practice on Tuesday.
“I try to work out with the mask every time I work out,” Lively remarked. “Make the mask as comfortable as you can so that putting it on becomes second nature.”
Lively gave a timeframe for how long he must wear it as well.
I will therefore need to wear it for around a month starting on the day of the procedure. merely being able to confirm that everything entirely fits inside my nose.

Dereck Lively II is prepared to play with a mask for the Mavericks.
Before the All-Star break, Lively returned from injury against the San Antonio Spurs. In his debut season, Lively—who turned 20 on February 12—has had a major influence on Dallas.Currently, he is averaging 1.5 blocks, 7.8 rebounds, and 9.2 points per game. Throughout the entire season, Dallas has benefited greatly from Lively’s presence on the glass. The Mavericks’ performance on the boards will continue to improve going forward as the acquisition of Daniel Gafford gives the team access to another dependable rebounder.
It won’t be simple to get used to the mask. It’s important that he gets acclimated to wearing it because he plans to wear it for the next few weeks. As Lively appears to be growing accustomed to it, the mask shouldn’t pose too much of a problem going ahead.
On Thursday, the Mavericks and Suns will play a match that is expected to be intense. Tip-off at the American Airlines Center is set for 7:30 PM EST.
