At this point, Dallas Mavericks fans might need a sage to cleanse the locker room. The injury bug has been relentless all season, and during their latest battle against the Phoenix Suns, Dallas took yet another brutal hit.

Spencer Dinwiddie scored 28 points, and the Dallas Mavericks stopped a five-game slide by edging the San Antonio Spurs 133-129.

For Sunday’s game, Dallas suited up nine players, but starter Williams exited with a hamstring injury after playing 24 minutes. Edwards and Dwight Powell suffered head injuries when they collided while going after a loose ball. Both required stitches. Edwards returned. Powell did not.

After playing limited minutes in the previous two games for the Mavericks, Powell logged an efficient 21 minutes in Monday's win against the Spurs, connecting on four of his five field-goal attempts.

The Dallas Mavericks could be down to seven healthy players as an injured list headlined by Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis continues to grow.

Powell (head) isn't listed on Dallas' injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs. Powell collided with Kessler Edwards during Sunday's game against the Suns and never returned, but both players will be available for the second night of Dallas' back-to-back set.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has been at a loss of words since the NBA trade deadline. The barrage of injuries has become overbearing and spilled over into Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns.
