Mavericks' Andrew Bogut (knee) expected to miss time

Dallas Mavericks center Andrew Bogut is expected to miss at least three games after hyper-extending his knee on Monday, per head coach Rick Carlisle.

What It Means:

Bogut is averaging 25.0 minutes per game for Dallas this season, and in his absence Salah Mejri will likely move into the starting lineup, while Dwight Powell should also see his role increase.

Bogut leads the Mavericks with a 23.4 percent total rebound rate and ranks second on the team with 101 defensive rating this season, though Mejri isn't far behind with an 18.6 percent rebound rate. He also has the best defensive rating on the team.
