Grant Afseth: The Dallas Mavericks upgraded Naji Marshall (left foot strain) to probable against the Los Angeles Lakers. Caleb Martin (left ankle sprain) was downgraded to doubtful.
Grant Afseth: The Dallas Mavericks list Cooper Flagg (left midfoot sprain) as doubtful to play against the Los Angeles Lakers. Naji Marshall (left foot strain) and Caleb Martin (left ankle sprain) are questionable.
Caleb Martin has started in nine of the Mavericks’ last 11 games and has gained more confidence from beyond the arc, shooting 52.4% while averaging 7.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 steals. “I think he’s just starting to get his feet back under him,” teammate Naji Marshall said. “He’s being the Caleb we all used to. Proud of him. A lot of people don’t make it back from what he was going through and dealing with, so, just proud to see him out there balling, and I hope he can keep it up ‘cause we need it.”
One player who has a lot of rumors around him is Naji Marshall. He's on a cheap contract, has had a strong season, and his skill set gets in the way of Cooper Flagg. However, Cooper Flagg is exactly the reason why Marshall wants to stay in Dallas. Marshall had an exclusive interview with Ron Harrod Jr. of DLLS Mavs, where he exclaimed, "I want to play with Cooper Flagg my whole motherf*****g career. That's my dog, and he's gonna create history. And to be part of that would be unbelievable."

According to some of those NBA folks, the names that have been attached to the Lakers as potential trade targets are Dallas’ Naji Marshall, a former Doncic teammate, Cleveland’s De’Andre Hunter, Minnesota’s Donte DiVincenzo and Sacramento’s Keon Ellis. New Orleans’ Troy Murphy III and Herbert Jones are two players the Lakers have shown some interest in — as have many other teams — but NBA people say the asking price is so high that teams are waiting to see if that comes down by the deadline next week.
NBA Communications: Other nominees… West: Saddiq Bey (NOP), Kevin Durant (HOU), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC), James Harden (LAC) and Naji Marshall (DAL) East: Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell (MIA), Jalen Duren (DET), Jalen Johnson (ATL), Donovan Mitchell (CLE) and Coby White (CHI)
While Anthony Davis’ market is tepid because of his contract status and injury history, other Mavericks players are drawing interest from rival teams. Mavericks forward Naji Marshall, in particular, is a player in demand. “I think half the league is interested in him,” one scout with a Western Conference team said. The Mavericks are signaling they’d like to hold onto Marshall and that it would take something extraordinary to consider moving the 28-year-old, who is in the midst of a career year.
