Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson sat out Monday's game and will miss at least the next four games with a right shoulder sprain, coach Rick Carlisle said.
Brunson, who suffered the injury during Saturday's loss to Atlanta, will travel on the team's upcoming four-game road trip while rehabbing.
"He will travel and begin rehabbing and we'll see where we are then," Carlisle said. "We've got J.J. [Barea], who is always ready. He'll be in the middle of it. He's a great luxury to have sitting there."
Brunson is averaging 8.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 17.9 minutes per game in 57 appearances this season.
