Daniel Gafford News: Logs 25 minutes in loss

Gafford closed with 14 points (7-9 FG), four rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist across 25 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Rockets.

Despite briefly exiting the game due to a leg issue, Gafford played a season-high 25 minutes in the loss. Although he was still reportedly on a minutes restriction of no more than 18, he exceeded that, putting up solid contributions on both ends of the floor. The Mavericks are still without a number of frontcourt options, meaning as long as Gafford can remain healthy, he should have a clear path to minutes.
