    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks will be without reserve forward Keith Van Horn for at least two weeks due to a sprained left MCL.Van Horn experienced soreness in his knee during Friday's 90-76 win over Charlotte and underwent an MRI, which revealed the sprained ligament. He played only four minutes against Charlotte.In 49 games off the bench this season, Van Horn is averaging 9.1 points and 3.8 rebounds for Dallas (46-12), which is tied with the San Antonio Spurs for the best record in the Western Conference. The 6-10 forward scored six points on 2-of-8 shooting in a 98-89 loss at San Antonio last Thursday.Acquired in February 2005 from Milwaukee, Van Horn averaged 12.2 points in 29 games for the Mavericks last season, but missed 10 playoff games due to an ankle injury.The second overall pick in the 1997 draft, Van Horn has career averages of 16.4 points and 6.8 rebounds. He averaged career highs of 21.8 points and 8.5 rebounds for New Jersey in 1998-99.</div>

    Van Horn gets injured so easy. The guy can't stay healthy and he has really hurt this team at times this. I believe he has the worst +/- on the team. The only good thing he did is gave Dirk time to rest so Dirk didn't have to play 40+ minutes.

    Well this hurts depth wise and possibly more minutes for Dirk. But I have to say I'm sorta glad, because Van Horn has been in a bad slump.

    Van Horn could get the hick-ups and be out for two weeks. Averys first sub normaly is Van Horn for Diop. Lets see what we can do with Rawle

    Well he does a good job on the bench because Avery will probably play Griffin at PF.
