DALLAS -- New Mavericks swingman Devean George was hospitalized early Tuesday with a stomach ailment that could knock him out of the opener.
George, a free agent signee from the Los Angeles Lakers, was still hospitalized as of Tuesday evening while the team awaited test results. Coach Avery Johnson said the problem was some type of intestinal virus.
"We think it's a food deal, but he's had this problem before," Johnson said. "Now it's kind of come back again, and this time it's even worse than the first time. So we'll have to evaluate it."
Dallas opens Thursday night at home against San Antonio.
The Mavericks also announced they'll play at least the first two weeks without third-string center D.J. Mbenga, who strained a tendon in his left foot Monday.
