Lawson hasn't appeared in any games for the G League's Texas Legends since Feb. 25 due to a right knee injury.

One of Dallas' two two-way players, Lawson hasn't suited up at the NBA level since Feb. 15, but he appears to have sustained the knee injury while he was on assignment in the G League. Lawson has appeared in three games to date for the Legends, averaging 25.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers, 2.0 steals and 0.7 blocks in 34.9 minutes per contest in those outings.

Lawson finished Wednesday's 118-109 loss to the Nuggets with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Even with Kyrie Irving (back) sitting out Wednesday, Dallas head coach Jason Kidd expanded his rotation to 11 men, allowing Lawson to make his first appearance since Feb. 6. Though Lawson acquitted himself well during his limited time on the court, the two-way player will likely find himself outside of the rotation and perhaps back in the G League when the Mavericks open their post-All-Star-break schedule.
