Bass sent home with injured foot

Brandon Bass was sent back to Dallas today from Charlotte to have his sore right foot examined. Avery Johnson said the situation has progressed from pain in the foot to an injury.

“He hasn’t been well,” Johnson said. “He’s been hot and cold. It used to be just pain, now he’s injured, so we sent him home to be reevaluated. We’ll know more later on tonight.”

Bass played 10 minutes in Monday’s loss at Washington. He won’t rejoin the team for tomorrow’s game against the Bobcats.

Johnson said someone will have to step up in Bass’ absence and mentioned Juwan Howard.
