Takeaway: After injury to Kleber, Gafford lone remaining healthy center for Mavs

While all the centers around him unfortunately have been falling like dominoes this season, Daniel Gafford has been that one stabilizing

force in the middle for the Dallas Mavericks.

Not only has Gafford and guard Spencer Dinwiddie played in a team-high tying 44 of the Mavs’ 46 games this season. But Gafford also is averaging a career-high 12.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, and ranks fourth in the NBA in field goal shooting at a gaudy 69.9 percent.

Overall, it’s the best season Gafford is enjoying during his six-year career.
