MRI shows strain, not contusion for Marion
Shawn Marion - F - Dallas Mavericks

Rick Carlisle said Friday that an MRI taken on Shawn Marion's injured calf showed a strain and not a contusion.

This explains the best-case scenario of a return "sometime next week," and owners should consider Marion out indefinitely until the reports begin to tighten up. Jae Crowder will be the likely starter while Marion is out, but Vince Carter is the fantasy beneficiary.
