Mavericks vs Spurs Preview and Injury Update: Injury-laden home opener for Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks return home on Saturday night following a victory against the Indiana Pacers to host the winless San Antonio Spurs for their season home opener at the American Airlines Center. Both clubs enter the matchup concluding a back-to-back sequence, with San Antonio coming off a tough defeat against the Houston Rockets.

Dallas enters the contest facing a severely depleted roster under head coach Dusty May, missing Cooper Flagg due to an AC joint sprain, Kyrie Irving for scheduled recovery, alongside sidelined contributors Santi Aldama, Dereck Lively, Caleb Martin, and Tarik Biberovic. Meanwhile, the visiting Spurs will rest Tobias Harris, leaving Victor Wembanyama poised to lead the charge.

This depleted rotation offers extended minutes for emerging Mavericks talents including Marcus Sasser, Sergio De Larrea, and Morez Johnson.
