Mavericks big man Daniel Gafford had to be helped off the court on Monday night in their game against the Sacramento Kings after his right knee buckled while he tried to set a screen. Gafford crashed down to the court at the American Airlines Arena and immediately reached for his knee, clearly in a lot of pain.

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford was helped off the court during the team's matchup against the visiting Sacramento Kings on Monday due to a sprained right knee.

The Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic in part to build what, on paper, looked to be perhaps the most imposing front court in the NBA. Anthony Davis is a 10-time All-Star pick, and in Dallas, he looked primed to return to his preferred position of power forward with Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford in place to man the center position.
