The Dallas Mavericks will have a tall task ahead, trying to snap out of a five-game losing streak despite dressing only 10 healthy players after center Andrew Bogut (calf) was ruled out of today's game against the San Antonio Spurs, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon.
Point guard Seth Curry will play after his shoulder popped out during Saturday's game diving for a loose ball, per Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News. Salah Mejri will start in place of Bogut.
Dirk Nowitzki (sore achilles) and Deron Williams (strained calf) did not travel with the team, per MacMahon.
The team will only feature two of their regular starters in shooting guard Wesley Matthews and new acquisition Harrison Barnes, who leads the team in scoring with 21.2 points per game. Ironically enough, the offseason signing has been the only bright spot in an otherwise dreadful start to the season.
Dallas has not only lost their last five games, but are 2-10 on the young season.
Jonathan Gibson has played two great games since his signing early in the week, exploding for 26 points and five three-pointers against the Orlando Magic. He's slated to get plenty of minutes today with all the injuries at hand.
