PHILADELPHIA - The Mavericks will be without three key players tonight against the 76ers.
Devin Harris (lower back), J.J. Barea (right ankle) and Dirk Nowitzki (return from injury management) all will sit on the second night of back-to-back games and with the Mavericks in a stretch of seven games in 11 days.
None of the injuries are serious and all are expected to return when the Mavericks return home Monday against the LeBron James-less Los Angeles Lakers.
Expect Jalen Brunson, returning to where he helped lead Villanova to two national championships, Maxi Kleber and Ryan Broekhoff to get extensive playing time with the three veterans out.
