Current injury status
Reported Nov 15
Day-To-DayShoulder — Arm — StingerEst. return Nov 15
Gafford (shoulder) is probable to play in Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Gafford took an elbow to the shoulder during Saturday's 127-117 loss in Cleveland and eventually left and did not return to the contest. It's a good sign for Dallas that he's listed as probable, so all signs point to Gafford being in the lineup versus Boston.

How it's counted
Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.
True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
