During the recent game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs, Daniel Gafford, the Mavericks’ center, shared his frustrations about his performance on the court.

Gafford, who was traded to the Mavericks from the Washington Wizards, struggled to make an impact and only scored three points in 14 minutes despite starting the game.

Reflecting on his performance, Gafford said, “There were guys that came out that were ready to play and guys like me that was out there on the floor just running back and forth. I felt like I couldn’t commit to anything, give anything to the team at the time,” according to a report by Mike Curtis.

This game against the Clippers was Gafford’s second playoff appearance, emphasizing the intensity and pressure of postseason basketball.
