The Slovenian star was forced to leave Wednesday's Dallas Mavericks-New Orleans Pelicans game in the third quarter with a left thigh sprain.

The injury is said to have bothered the guard for some time.

With 34 wins and 33 losses, the Mavericks are currently 8th in the Western Conference. Their next game is Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies.
