Prosper is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to an ankle sprain, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper has been on the fringes of the Mavericks' rotation this season, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Friday. His status shouldn't significantly impact the team's plans.

The Mavericks recalled Prosper from the G League's Texas Legends on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper debuted with the Mavericks' G League affiliate Saturday, scoring 19 points while adding nine rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes in a 114-110 win over the Oklahoma City Blue. Despite the strong showing in the G League, the rookie first-round draft pick is unlikely to be included in head coach Jason Kidd's rotation for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Prosper isn't in the starting five for Saturday's preseason game versus Minnesota, Alan Horton of Wolves Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper will be replaced by Josh Green in the starting lineup Saturday. The rookie forward tallied just one point and one rebound in his preseason debut Thursday.

Head coach Jason Kidd said Prosper will serve as one of the Mavericks' starting forwards in Thursday's preseason opener versus the Timberwolves in Abu Dhabi, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper and fellow rookie first-round pick Dereck Lively will both get looks on the top unit to begin the preseason, joining Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and Grant Williams. The latter three players are locked into starting roles to begin the regular season, but Prosper and Lively will have to earn their spots through their performance in the preseason. While the Mavericks' willingness to give Prosper an opportunity to prove he's worthy of a starting gig is a positive development, he's unlikely to emerge as a major fantasy contributor as a rookie while high-usage players like Doncic and Irving are both available. Even if one or both of Doncic and Irving miss time, Prosper profiles as more of a 3-and-D forward who's not expected to be asked to shoulder a heavy burden on the offensive end.

Prosper amassed 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 112-91 Summer League win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper has improved his scoring output throughout the Summer League but continues to be inconsistent with his outside shot. However, his primary path to playing time as a rookie will likely be on the defensive end, as he brings impressive size and instincts.

Prosper tallied 17 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 98-96 overtime Summer League win over Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper had his best offensive game of the Summer League, as he was efficient from the outside and earned numerous trips to the free-throw line. While his defensive abilities will likely be the reason he sees minutes early on, the rookie forward could see wide-open looks from the three-point line due to the defensive attention that Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will receive.

Prosper recorded 10 points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Monday's 111-103 Summer League win over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Prosper is still very raw on offense, as he struggled with his efficiency. While he is unlikely to receive a major role for the Mavericks right out the gate, his defensive potential is exactly what Dallas needs next Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic long-term.
