Andrew Bogut

Andrew Bogut (hamstring) ruled out for Dallas on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center Andrew Bogut (hamstring) will not play on Thursday night as the Mavericks take on the Phoenix Suns.

What It Means:

Bogut is day-to-day after straining his right Hamstring on Monday night, and the bottom-feeding Mavericks have no reason to rush the 32-year-old back into action. Look for Dwight Powell and Salah Mejri to see increased playing time in Bogut's absence.

Bogut is averaging only 3.0 points per game on a career-low 10.4 percent usage rate this season, but his 22.7 percent total rebound rate is a career-high. His shaky -1.1 nERD on the season ranks only 339th in the NBA.
