Art Garcia of NBA.com tweets that, just as second year guard Rodrigue Beaubois nears his return from his serious foot/ankle injury, rookie guard Dominique Jones is sidelined with a stress fracture in his foot. Jones has struggled to earn playing time and has seen time with the Mavericks’ NBA D-League team in Frisco.
Beaubois participated in his first full practice of the season today and could be within a week or so of returning. Newly signed forward Peja Stojakovic saw his first action with the Mavericks and his first game time in two months last night in the team’s 99-96 win over the hapless Cavs.
