Dereck Lively II ‘NBA Playoffs Debut’ Dallas Mavericks 2024 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Round 1 Game Worn Association Edition Jersey | Game 1

This away ‘Association Edition’ jersey was worn by Dereck Lively II on April 21, 2024 during Game 1 of the First Round of the NBA Playoffs, when the Dallas Mavericks played the Los Angeles Clippers.

Dereck Lively II has grown into an important rotational piece for the Mavericks over the course of his rookie season. The big man is a lob threat on the offensive end and has become a valuable rim protector defensively. It looks as though the young 7-footer will be a key piece for the Luka Doncic-led Mavericks for years to come.  

Dereck Lively II was drafted with the 12th pick in the 1st round of the 2023 NBA Draft out of Duke University. At the time of cataloging, he has career averages of 8.8 points per game, 6.9 rebounds per game, and 1.1 assists per game.
