Jason Kidd to Miss 3 More Games Due to Right Groin Strain

Jason Kidd was out of action last night against the Clippers, and he will not be back in the Mavericks’ lineup for at least three more games. Per the Dallas Morning News: “It’s been something that’s been an issue, but we have to get it resolved,’ head coach Rick Carlisle said. ‘It was an issue Friday and it clearly was bothering him throughout the whole game. He’s likely out through the Memphis game. I don’t see him playing this week.’ Kidd, 39, has missed four games this year with a back problem and six with a calf injury, plus one for rest purposes, won’t be alone in the infirmary. Lamar Odom [was out last night] with a lingering stomach illness that has bugged him since the Friday game in Orlando.”
