Word out of Dallas is that Caron Butler has a tear in the patellar tendon in his right knee. He suffered the injury Saturday night in Milwaukee. He was flying in for an offensive rebound where he planted to jump and his knee gave way. The Mavs aren't sure if it's a partial or full tear of the tendon. They are waiting for the results from the MRI. If it's a partial tear, he could only be sidelined for about 2 months. If a full tear, he's done for the year. This comes at a bad time because Dirk Nowitski has been day-to-day with a sprained knee. Butler becomes a free agent after this season. So hopefully this injury won't hurt his chances on landing a contract in the summer.
