The Dallas Mavericks are navigating a challenging stretch as they head to Toronto to face the Raptors on Sunday evening. Coming off a 120-100 loss to the Boston Celtics, the team's injury report adds another layer of complexity to their quest for a win. Marvin Bagley III remains listed as questionable for the matchup against Toronto, continuing a five-game absence. His availability will be a game-time decision.

Why it matters

Bagley has been a valuable addition to the Mavericks since arriving via trade, averaging 13.0 points and 8.9 rebounds while shooting efficiently from the field. His potential absence could further thin the Mavericks' frontcourt options as they look to snap a six-game losing streak.

The details

In addition to Bagley, the Mavericks' injury report includes several other players. Rookie Cooper Flagg is also questionable due to left midfoot injury management. Dwight Powell is probable with right calf tightness. Moussa Cisse, John Poulakidas, and Tyler Smith are all listed as doubtful.
