Tarık Biberovic Has Yet to Play for Dallas Due to Injury

Tarık Biberovic, who moved from Fenerbahçe to the Dallas Mavericks this summer, has yet to suit up in the NBA because of a right heel injury. The national team player was hurt in his right heel during training camp, and his official injury reports list it as right heel bursitis.

Biberovic played 26 minutes in a preseason game against the New Orleans Pelicans on October 14. He has been out of action since then due to the injury. The 23-year-old missed Dallas's first seven regular season games of the 2026-27 season.

The Dallas Mavericks have not yet announced a firm return date for Biberovic. CBS Sports' injury tracker says the national team player could return to the court as early as November 12, and his status is being monitored weekly. Dallas head coach Dusty May recently said Biberovic's return was approaching but that he was not yet fully ready.

Biberovic's NBA rights were traded from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Dallas Mavericks over the summer, and the national team player then signed a contract with the Mavericks. Through their first 7 games of the season, the Mavericks have a 4-3 record and sit 9th in the Western Conference.
