TL;DR

Dallas Mavericks rookie center Dereck Lively II has been cleared to play in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals after a successful post-shootaround workout. Lively, who missed Game 4 due to a sprained neck from an accidental knee to the head by Karl-Anthony Towns, has regained full range of motion but still experiences some soreness. Mavericks star Luka Doncic remains questionable with a sprained knee and ankle soreness but has played in all previous games despite similar listings.
