Mavericks' forward Josh Howard will miss Saturday night's game against the Clippers due to personal reasons. He is expected to return in time for Monday's game against the Kings.

The details are sketchy, but it looks like this was last-second emergency, which hopefully won't have any lasting effects. Get him benched in daily leagues, while weekly owners will just have to live with the DNP. Jan. 12 - 3:48 pm et
