Mavericks’ J.J. Barea will miss at least 3 games

The Dallas Mavericks will have to make do without guard J.J. Barea for at least the next three games, and maybe even longer.

Barea suffered a sprained right ankle in the second half of Wednesday’s 88-83 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

After Friday’s practice at American Airlines Center, coach Rick Carlisle said that Barea’s return is more on a week-to-week basis rather than a day-to-day basis.
