Mavs to be without Dampier up to three weeks
February 22, 2005
DALLAS (AP) -- Dallas Mavericks center Erick Dampier has a stress fracture in his right foot and is expected to miss two to three weeks.
The 6-foot-11 Dampier is averaging 9.5 points and 8.7 rebounds for the season, but he was producing far more than that over the eight games before injuring his foot Feb. 15 at Golden State. He opened that stretch with a career-high 26 rebounds and capped it with a season-high 19 points; in between, he had double figures in points and rebounds all but once.
The Mavericks won without him at Phoenix in their last game before the All-Star break. If he's out the full three weeks, he'd miss 12 more games.
Alan Henderson started at center against the Suns, and Calvin Booth saw extended action off the bench. Shawn Bradley played, too, and all three are likely to help pick up the slack.
The Mavs are battling other injuries as Marquis Daniels is trying to come back from an appendectomy and Jerry Stackhouse has a nagging groin problem. The team wants to be cautious with Stackhouse's return because this is the second time the injury has taken him out of the lineup.
Just a matter of time.
That sound you heard was me cursing his name to high heavens.
Wow. That's bad. Stress fractures of both feet caused Ilgauskas to miss a couple of seasons worth of games. The Mavs had better hope this is a one time deal.
"Jerry Stackhouse has a nagging groin problem. "
As a doc, any groin problem is kind of "nagging".
