The Dallas Mavericks announced that center Dereck Lively II will undergo season-ending surgery on his right foot. Lively got multiple opinions, but it was determined that he still needed surgery to end his season after playing just seven games.

He is expected to make a full recovery and be available for the start of training camp. The surgery will be performed by Dr. James Calder at the Fortius Clinic in London.

“Dereck has handled every challenge of this season with professionalism and resilience,” said Dallas Mavericks Co-Interim General Manager Matt Riccardi. “While this is a setback, we’re confident in his long-term future and will support him fully through his recovery.”

Lively has only played 98 games in three years. He had offseason foot surgery and a recent knee issue.
