Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II has recently undergone surgery to address bone spurs in his right foot, according to sources close to ESPN's Shams Charania. The young player is expected to make a full recovery in time for the team's training camp in September.

Lively, who is only 21 years old, has faced several injury challenges early in his NBA career. Last season, he missed over two months due to a stress fracture in his right ankle, which significantly impacted the Mavericks' performance. Over his first two seasons, Lively has appeared in just 91 regular season games.

The Mavericks are counting on Lively to be a crucial part of their frontcourt next season, alongside notable players such as Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, P.J. Washington, and the recent No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg. The team is hopeful that Lively's surgery will resolve his injury issues, allowing him to contribute more consistently and help the Mavericks achieve their goals in the upcoming season.

Lively's recovery and performance will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike, as the Mavericks aim to bounce back from a challenging previous season. His health and availability could be key factors in the team's success.
