Andrew Bogut

Andrew Bogut is nearing a return for Dallas

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle said that while center Andrew Bogut (hamstring) will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, there's a chance he could get back out there sometime next week.

What It Means:

The Mavericks play a Wednesday-Thursday back to back this week and Bogut could be ready to play in one of those games. Salah Mejri and Dwight Powell would lose some value once Bogut is back and playing his normal minutes.

Bogut is averaging only 3.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over 23.5 minutes per game. He has a .451 effective field goal percentage and a -1.1 nERD.
