The Dallas Mavericks are set to play the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night. The Mavs recently traded Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards as part of a three-team deal, and Khris Middleton was among the players who ended up in Dallas as a result. So, is Middleton playing against the Spurs tonight after the trade?
The Mavericks are heading in a new direction as a franchise as they prepare to build around Cooper Flagg. Kyrie Irving will also help lead the way. It seemed as if Middleton would be a buyout candidate after the trade, but it appears he will remain with Dallas for now.
On the injury report, Middleton – as well as the other players acquired in the deal – are listed as “trade pending”, even though the deal was officially announced on Thursday. Here's everything we know about Middleton's status for tonight's game vs. Spurs.
