5 years agoDallas Mavericks power forward/center Dwight Powell looks to have torn his Achilles on Tuesday in the loss to the Clippers. Powell went to attack the basket with the ball and looked to have taken an awkward step. He was helped to the locker room and did not return. The Mavericks have not officially stated yet that it is a ruptured Achilles, but this is the feeling around the league. Assuming he does miss the rest of the season, we should see Maximilian Kleber and even Boban Marjanovic get an uptick in time, with Kleber being the better option of the two. Safe recovery to Dwight.--Gianni Costantiello
