DALLAS — Mavericks forward Shawn Marion will miss at least three games with a sprained left knee ligament, including Friday night’s game against the 3-0 Knicks.
The team said Tuesday the four-time All-Star was a scratch for Wednesday night’s home game against Toronto and won’t make the two-game trip to New York and Charlotte.
The 34-year-old Marion will be re-evaluated next week. He sprained his left medial collateral ligament in the third quarter of the Mavericks’ 114-91 win over Portland on Monday night.
Marion is averaging 8.0 points and 9.0 rebounds through four games this season. He played at least 75 games in nine of his first 12 seasons and has career averages of 16.4 points and 9.2 rebounds.
