A hamstring injury could force Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes to sit out the entire preseason, tweets Tim Cato of The Athletic. Barnes tweaked the hamstring in practice and will be sidelined “for a while,” head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed.
Barnes definitely won’t play in Saturday’s preseason opener or on the upcoming trip to China, adds Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News (Twitter link). His condition will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days, adds Dwain Price of Mavs.com (Twitter link).
Barnes was among the Mavericks’ most important players last season, posting 18.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG, and 2.0 assists in 77 games. He can become a free agent next summer by opting out of a $25.1MM salary for 2019/20.
Most overrated player in basketball right next to Jabari Parker, at least in terms of draft value.
Crazy to look back and realize that the Warriors took Barnes and Ezeli in the first round and got Green in the second.
How is he overrated exactly? He’s not rated at all. No one cares about Harrison Barnes but there are far more overrated players..Draymond Green is the most overrated player in the league.. it takes acclaim to be overrated
mavs in tank mode before the season starts – shocker
They don’t even have a first round pick this year.. they have zero incentive to tank
