Mavericks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Injury in international competitions has long been Mark Cuban's biggest reservation when it comes to his players. While the Mavericks have been lucky on that front through the years, especially with Dirk Nowitzki, this summer wasn't as kind.
Roddy Beaubois broke his left foot preparing for the FIBA World Championship with France. The second-year point guard had surgery in early August to insert a pin into his foot. Recovery is supposed to take 2-3 months.
The setback to Beaubois was more than just the injury. The Mavs are grooming him to be the heir apparent to Jason Kidd, and this summer Beaubois was supposed to be France's starter at point guard.
Beaubois was most effective playing alongside Kidd last season at shooting guard.
