McGee (leg) will sit out the Mavs' preseason opener Tuesday against the Warriors, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

McGee is still working his way back from a stress reaction in his left tibia that has limited his availability each of the past two seasons. The Mavericks seem optimistic that he'll be ready to go for the start of the regular season, but he may need to get on the court at some point in training camp in order to solidify a roster spot.
