By NBA Premium News Jul 15, 2025 | 9:20 PM

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II is recovering from surgery to clean up bone spurs in his right foot, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Lively, 21, is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp in late September.
Lively missed 2 1/2 months during the 2024-25 season after sustaining a stress fracture in his right ankle in January.
He was limited to 36 games (29 starts) and averaged 8.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 blocked shots.
A first-round pick (12th overall) in 2023, the 7-foot-1 Lively has career averages of 8.8 points and 7.1 rebounds in 91 games (71 starts) for the Mavericks.
