Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Saturday

Gafford (ankle) will not play Saturday against the Rockets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Gafford was previously listed as doubtful, so this isn't a surprise. With the big man joining Dereck Lively (foot) on the shelf, the Mavericks could rely on Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell in the short term.
