The Dallas Mavericks will open training camp without center Dereck Lively II, who has not been cleared while recovering from recurring right-foot problems. He has had no setbacks and is gradually ramping up toward basketball activity, ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reports.
Lively’s right foot has been surgically repaired twice in the past 14 months, MacMahon reported. It is unclear whether he will miss the entire training camp.
