At this point, Dallas Mavericks fans might need a sage to cleanse the locker room. The injury bug has been relentless all season, and during their latest battle against the Phoenix Suns, Dallas took yet another brutal hit. This time, Dwight Powell and Kessler Edwards collided; both were sent straight to the locker room.
And for Mavs Nation? They’ve had enough.
Dallas Mavericks’ Injury Woes Continue as Dwight Powell Goes Down
Dallas has barely been able to keep a full roster intact this season, and Powell’s injury is just the latest addition to a growing list of setbacks.
The big man had been hustling—first scoring a layup, then chasing down a huge block on a 3-point attempt. But just moments later, he and Edwards clashed heads in a freak accident, leaving both players shaken up.
MFFL Nation on Twitter summed it up perfectly. “Nah man, this has to be the most cursed season for a franchise in NBA history. Both players went to the locker room after this. I’ve never seen something like this happen before.”

And honestly? Fans weren’t arguing. With so many key players already out, Powell had been seeing increased minutes. But now, with him potentially sidelined, Dallas is staring at an even bigger hole in the rotation.
Fans React to ‘The Most Cursed Season’
Mavs fans are spiraling, and who could blame them? This season has been a nightmare, and social media is full of desperation, frustration, and straight-up disbelief.
One fan acknowledged the curse by saying, “The Luka curse is real. Never seen a run of bad luck like this. Never.”

Another felt for the Mavs, adding, “Mavs can’t catch a break this year.”
While most fans were focused on injuries, some pointed fingers at the front office. “It started with trading Luka. Blame Nico for the curse.”

The frustration runs deeper than just one game. With key bigs already out, the coaching staff has had to stretch the remaining players thin. The result? More risk, more fatigue, and, unfortunately, more injuries.
At this point, Dallas fans aren’t just worried about playoff chances—they’re wondering how many healthy bodies will even be left if the Mavericks get there.
With Powell and Edwards’ status still unclear, Dallas is heading into a crucial stretch of the season with an already depleted roster.
Can they survive the storm? Or is this just another chapter in what’s becoming the most cursed season in franchise history? Either way, Mavericks fans are over it.
