Mavericks’ Harris Out With Sprained Ankle
Posted by Stephen Rhodes under Main
As of late, it seems like the ankle is the body part of choice to get injured. Add yet another casualty to that list; Dallas Mavericks point guard Devin Harris will miss at least Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies with a sprained left ankle. He suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets and will undergo an MRI Monday (today); according to the Dallas Morning News, Harris left the American Airlines Center on crutches and wearing a boot-like cast. Harris told the Morning News, “It’s a bad sprain. We’ll know more when I get it re-evaluated.”
Harris suffered a similar ankle injury gainst the Los Angeles Lakers Friday but it didn’t affect his overall play; he re-injured the ankle with 8:11 left in Sunday’s game, when he fell into a pool of photographers after completing a layup. Prior to his most recent injury, Harris was averaging 14.4 PPG and 5.3 RPG in 39 games played this season.
Stumble it!
