Rodrigue Beaubois will undergo surgery Friday to have a pin inserted in his broken left foot, a procedure that is expected to sideline him two to three months.
"We're going to do it right so it's not a recurring type of situation," said Donnie Nelson, Mavs president of basketball operations. "It just depends on the healing process. When his foot is fully healed, we'll let him back on the court, and not until then."
Beaubois had a very promising rookie season and his development is one element Dallas is counting on for the 10-11 season.
