With J.J. Barea sidelined for potentially an extended period of time with a left calf strain — Rick Carlisle said it might have to wait until after the All-Star Game — the Mavs’ backcourt depth took a hit Friday night. To make matters worse, Wesley Matthews suffered a right hip strain in the second quarter of today’s game. Matthews earned his “Iron Man” nickname, so while the significance of his injury is unknown at this time, it’s safe to subtract a bit of time off simply because Matthews is such a tough dude. Stay tuned for updates on his status.
