Progresses to individual work

The Mavericks announced Friday that Lively (ankle) has progressed to individual court week after a recent re-evaluation, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Analyse

Lively remains without an official timetable to return to action, but he's going to be re-evaluated weekly. The second-year center hasn't played since Jan. 14 due to a right ankle stress fracture, and his absence has loomed large while the Mavericks remain without Anthony Davis (adductor) and Daniel Gafford (knee) due to long-term injuries. All three of the big men look to be multiple weeks away from playing again.
