Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Dwight Powell is in concussion protocol after he headbutted a door frame during a jump.
In the trending video, Dwight Powell, is seen as he jumped so high he ended up hitting his head on a door frame.
The Mavericks added Powell is weighing surgical options.
Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic first reported the injury.
Powell suffered the injury Tuesday with three minutes left in the first as he attempted to drive to the basket. He pushed off his right leg and immediately fell to the ground in a non-contact play.
The 28-year-old entered Tuesday averaging 9.6 points and 5.7 rebounds for the 27-15 Mavs.
The news is devastating for a Mavs team on pace to make the playoffs for the first time in four years, thanks largely to the efforts of MVP candidate Luka Doncic. But the pieces around the team’s star have performed well in their roles, including Powell.
The 28-year-old center helped provide some stability down low for the Mavs when Kristaps Porzingis suffered knee soreness and was forced off the court for 10 games. In a cruel twist of fate, Porzingis returned Tuesday, only to see Powell suffer an injury that will force him to miss an extended period of time.
