McGee (leg) will remain sidelined for Monday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

McGee has yet to make an appearance in the preseason as he continues to rehab the stress reaction he dealt with in his left leg last season. He's been able to implement more activities into his training regimen since camp got underway, but from a conditioning standpoint, he likely won't be able to contribute major minutes when the regular season begins. Expect him to settle into a backup role at center behind Zaza Pachulia and Samuel Dalembert.
