There is so much bounce in the step of new Dallas Mavericks standout Shawn Marion that it’s difficult to notice when that calf is bothering him. But bothering him it is, so as while The Matrix was held out of Monday’s practice, Dallas made an announcement … Marion has suffered a mild strain to his right calf. He missed the Mavs’ first preseason game against Orlando due to the injury, played brilliantly in Game 2 at Washington despite it, and scored 15 points in limited minutes in Sunday’s win over Memphis, the limited minutes seemingly a cautionary measure.
And now more caution: Marion is listed as day-to-day and the Mavs say he will return to practice “when symptoms subside.’’
Better safe than sorry here … and better now than later, too.
