DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Mavericks center Brendan Haywood missed the final three quarters of Friday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings due to lower back tightness.
Haywood went scoreless in just over seven minutes before going to the bench with the back problem and did not return.
The Mavericks were already without No. 2 scorer Jason Terry, who underwent surgery earlier Friday for facial injuries.
Dallas also is without center Erick Dampier (dislocated right middle finger) and forward Tim Thomas (personal reasons).
