The Dallas Mavericks have listed rookie center Dereck Lively II as doubtful for Game 4 of their Western Conference Finals series against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a sprained neck.
Lively was injured early in the second quarter of Game 3 of this best-of-seven series on Sunday when the back of his head inadvertently collided with the right knee of Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns as Lively was falling on the court. Lively laid on the floor for over five minutes before he walked off the court and into the locker room with some assistant from teammate Markieff Morris.
