The Dallas Mavericks will be shorthanded during the first week of the new season, as Seth Curry is still recovering from a stressed left tibia. It's still unclear when he can return, but he will be evaluated weekly, as confirmed by head coach Rick Carlisle, via Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com.

The Duke product played his first season with the Mavs last year, and appeared in 70 games for the team. He emerged as their starting shooting guard towards the end of the campaign, and averaged 12.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.
