Mavericks' Salah Mejri: Questionable for Friday

Mejri (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason game against the Suns, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Mejri underwent right knee surgery in June and has yet to make his preseason debut while he navigates through the recovery process. It appears as though he's almost ready to go, with coach Rick Carlisle indicating earlier this week that Mejri could potentially play on Friday, which was backed up by his questionable tag on the injury report. Mejri will likely be reevaluated during the team's shootaround Friday morning, although even if he does play, he'd likely see limited minutes. As long as he's healthy, Mejri is expected to open the season as the backup to Andrew Bogut at center.
