Dereck Lively II will undergo season-ending surgery on his right foot. The surgery will be performed by Dr. James Calder at the Fortius Clinic in London.
Lively is expected to make a full recovery and be available for the start of training camp.
“Dereck has handled every challenge of this season with professionalism and resilience,” said Dallas Mavericks Co-Interim General Manager Matt Riccardi. “While this is a setback, we’re confident in his long-term future and will support him fully through his recovery.”
