Mavericks guard Rodrigue Beaubois is back in a walking boot after feeling some soreness in his left foot over the weekend.
"It's just to make sure nothing happened," Beuabois said.
"It was kind of sore, so we just have to take it easy and see how it goes. I started to do more so for sure I need to take it slow because it's been a long time since I played. We just have to take it slow."
Dallas coach Rick Carlisle didn't call it a setback, but it's becoming clear that Beaubois won't play in the preseason.
"It's precautionary," Carlisle said. "He hasn't had any kind of major setback, to my knowledge. We've said all along we're going to make sure he's really right before we put him back out there. So we're going day to day with it.
"We've got to make sure things happen in the right sequence. He's doing really well. But we're not going to take any unnecessary risks. We're going to make sure that it's completely 100 percent healthy and that he's in fully perfect condition before putting him back on the court. That's where we're at. He's making progress and I expect him to continue doing that."
