Dereck Lively II ‘Rising Stars’ Practice Jersey

This ‘Rising Stars Edition’ practice jersey was issued to Dereck Lively II on February 14, 2025, for the Rising Stars Game practice.

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 8.7 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game, and 1.6 assists per game. 

He was named to the 2023-24 All-Rookie 2nd Team.
