Parsons (knee) may be sidelined for all seven of the Mavericks' preseason games, Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

Parsons said prior to training camp that his primary concern was making sure he was fully healthy for opening night, and that objective hasn't changed. The forward isn't believed to have suffered any setbacks in his recovery from microfracture surgery, but he'll need to log at least a few full practices with the Mavericks before getting the green light to see game action.
