Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd relayed after Tuesday's 112-104 win over the Clippers that initial X-rays on Brunson's injured left foot returned negative, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Brunson will likely undergo additional testing on his foot in the days to come, but for the time being, the fourth-year guard appears to have avoided a serious injury. Luka Doncic's (ankle/knee) return from a three-game absence Tuesday was always expected to hurt Brunson from a usage standpoint, but the early exit due to injury ended up being the 25-year-old's demise for at least one contest. Before departing, Brunson played 11 minutes and provided four points (2-3 FG), two assists, two steals and one rebound. He'll benefit from an extended break between games, as the Mavericks aren't back on the schedule until Saturday, when they host the Wizards.
