Mavs sign Sasha Pavlovic to 10-day Contract

The Mavs signed Pavlovic to a 10-day contract Monday, adding to their injury-riddled roster.

Pavlovic is a 27 year old seven year veteran who spent most of his career with the Cavaliers. He spent last season with the Timberwolves but after having the worst season of his career, he went unsigned as a free agent last summer.

Although he won't get many minutes with the Mavs, he will help out a little bit on the court while the Mavs are coping with the loss of Dirk and Caron.

He will be able to play Wednesday night vs the Pacers.

As for Dirk, he is still unable to take part in team drills. He headed in for treatment as the team prepares to leave for Indiana, where the Mavs being their four game road trip.

Coach Carlisle is not giving many updates on Dirk's progress, so whether he will play is not yet known.

If Dirk doesn't play, it will be his eighth consecutive game he's missed due to his sprained knee. The Mavs are 2-5 without him.
