Rotowire
Marshall (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls.
It appears as though Marshall will miss a third consecutive game while tending to a left hip contusion. If he's indeed ruled out for Sunday's game, he'll end the 2025-26 regular season averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game along with 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 threes over 29.5 minutes per game.

As expected after entering the day with a doubtful tag, Marshall will sit out his second consecutive contest due to a left hip contusion he sustained during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Tagged doubtful for Friday
Rotowire
Marshall (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against San Antonio.
Marshall suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's clash against the Clippers and was forced to sit out Wednesday's game as a result of the injury. It appears he'll need even more time to recover after being listed as doubtful for Friday, which would mean more playing time for Klay Thompson, Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith in the frontcourt. Expect another update on Marshall's status closer to tipoff.

Rotowire
Marshall (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Rotowire
Marshall (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 116-103 loss to the Clippers and did not return, finishing with six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three steals and two rebounds across 20 minutes.
Marshall struggled on the offensive end Tuesday before taking a hard fall and limping to the locker room after attempting to contest a shot in the fourth quarter. It's unclear exactly what the 28-year-old forward is dealing with, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him appear on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game in Phoenix.

Marshall was assessed his second technical foul with 10:40 remaining in the final quarter while on the bench, and his ejection came shortly after head coach Jason Kidd was tossed. The 28-year-old forward struggled in his return from a two-game absence due to an illness, and he'll aim to bounce back against the Lakers on Sunday.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Scores 17 points with seven boards
Rotowire
Marshall produced 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 138-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
This was a nice bounce-back performance from Marshall, who was held to just five points on 2-for-7 shooting his last time out. Marshall continues to alternate double-digit scoring games with single-digit stinkers, which makes him a tough guy to roster in standard fantasy leagues.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Delivers well-rounded line
Rotowire
Marshall (foot) recorded 15 points (5-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 33 minutes Friday in the Mavericks' 122-111 loss to the Timberwolves.
Marshall had been forced out of the Mavericks' previous game Feb. 12 against the Lakers due to a left foot strain, but the All-Star break afforded him plenty of time to heal. He was back in the starting five for the second straight game and came through with a well-rounded stat line, though his efficiency left something to be desired. Marshall is still converting at a robust 52.6 percent clip from the field on the season, though he's offering little production from beyond the arc (0.9 triples per game).

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Marshall is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a left foot strain.
Marshall is dealing with an ailing foot, so he could skip the Mavs' final game heading into the All-Star break. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if Marshall is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Max Christie and Khris Middleton.
