Mavs' Stackhouse out with hamstring strain

Dallas Mavericks swingman Jerry Stackhouse will be out for about a week because of a mildly strained right hamstring.

Stackhouse was injured Wednesday night. An MRI exam Friday revealed the extent of the injury.

Stackhouse is averaging 9.9 points, 2.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 24.4 minutes this season.

The News, citing a police source, said Thomas was arrested after he went to a Bloomington hospital to be treated for a swollen eye, which came when he was hit by either a beer bottle or another man's fist at the bar.

NHL honors league's first black player O'Ree
