Dallas Mavericks second-year star center Dereck Lively II will miss the next 2-3 months after sustaining a small fracture in his foot, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
Lively, who has been out of the lineup since Jan. 14, will be sorely missed in the middle of the paint for Dallas, where he has been a force defensively throughout his first two years in the league and has continued to improve offensively.
