J.J. Barea out 6 weeks with left leg injury

Guard J.J. Barea said Thursday he will miss about a month and a half of action with the Dallas Mavericks due to a left leg injury.

Shortly after being evaluated by the organization's medical staff, Barea revealed he suffered a tear in a muscle connecting his left calf to his Achilles tendon.

Barea was hurt in Wednesday night's 90-83 loss to the Boston Celtics.
