CBS NBA @CBSSportsNBA
Dereck Lively II injury update: Mavericks center questionable for Game 5 of West finals at Wolves cbssports.com/nba/news/derec… – 5:52 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Per the latest @nba injury report Mavs list @DereckLively as questionable for Game 5 tomorrow night in MIN. 7:35 tip @theeagledallas – 5:01 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Latest NBA injury report is the first one to have a Dereck Lively II update. He’s now upgraded to questionable. Good news that he didn’t have something serious or have to go through concussion protocols. Dodged a bullet. – 5:00 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Mavs C Dereck Lively II (neck sprain) has been upgraded to questionable for Game 5.
Luka Doncic (right knee sprain/left ankle soreness) is questionable again.
Maxi Kleber is off the injury report. – 4:46 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Just a little reminder for AK – the Mavs tanking the last two games at the end of last season led to them keeping the pick and drafting Dereck Lively. Sometimes it’s OK to do right by the organization than false hustle to the NIT Tournament … only to be eliminated. – 1:22 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
My feel on this series is that the Mavericks are slightly better when Dereck Lively is healthy and the Timberwolves are slightly better when he isn’t, so my Game 5 pick is more or less just going to come down to “does Dereck Lively play?” – 11:46 PM
Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
“It’s a day to day thing. I’m not trying to rush it. We will see,” Mavs center Dereck Lively II, who has a sprained neck, told @andscape. – 11:38 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Not rocket science, but there’s a lot more room to operate in the paint with Dwight Powell in there instead of Dereck Lively. Certainly curious to see if we get any of Maxi Kleber tonight, and what he can give the Mavs if he does get a chance. – 8:52 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Here’s what Wolves coach Chris Finch had to say about the absence of Dereck Lively II. “It gives them obviously less size and bounce at the rim, but if Kleber’s back and playing at the five, that gives them a stretch lineup that we haven’t seen all series.” – 8:34 PM
Ball Don’t Lie @Balldontlie
Mavs C Dereck Lively II (sprained neck) is OUT for Game 4, per Jason Kidd. pic.twitter.com/jCgexrVMM7 – 6:50 PM

Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Dereck Lively II (sprained neck) is officially out for Game 4, per Jason Kidd.
Kidd says Luka Doncic (sprained knee) and Maxi Kleber (shoulder) are still questionable pending their warmups.
Kidd on Lively: “He’s doing a lot better. … Sore, but he’s feeling better.” – 6:49 PM
