McRoberts was waived by the Mavericks on Saturday, Bobby Karalla of the Mavericks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McRoberts was never a part of the Mavericks' rotation, as the veteran has only played in two games this season after arriving in Dallas via trade with the Heat this past summer. He'll now have a chance to sign on with another squad in need of veteran depth.

McRoberts was a DNP-CD in Sunday's win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
McRoberts was available off the bench for the first time this season after battling a lower-body injury for several months, but he did not see the floor in the Mavs' three-point victory. The former Duke standout could work his way into a rotational role over the next few weeks, but McRoberts is very unlikely to be a significant fantasy contributor this season.

Contrary to an earlier report, coach Rick Carlisle confirmed McRoberts (lower body) will be available to play Sunday against the Thunder, Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
While he was initially ruled out for Sunday's tilt earlier in the day, it turns out McRoberts, who has been sidelined all year with a lower body injury, is feeling well enough to make his season debut. That said, he figures to be on some sort of minutes limit, though he isn't expected to play a large role of the Macs' bench regardless.

McRoberts (lower body) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McRoberts has yet to see the floor this season while working through a lower body injury, but finally appears to be nearing a his return. The Mavericks reported there was an "outside chance" that McRoberts could play Sunday, though they'll hold him out one more contest in order to avoid bringing the big man back too soon and risking some sort of setback. McRoberts' next opportunity to take the floor will be Wednesday against the Warriors.

McRoberts (lower body) should be considered doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Thunder, Earl K. Sneed of the Mavericks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McRoberts has essentially been day-to-day with a lower-body injury for the entire season, though could see the floor Sunday if the workout goes well. More information should be available following that day's morning shootaround.

McRoberts (lower body) will remain out Friday against the Pelicans, Will Guillory of the Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
McRoberts continues to sit out with what the team is calling a lower-body injury. He's yet to be activated this season, and at this point it's very much unclear when the former Duke standout could make his season debut. That said, the Mavs appear content to handle his status on a game-to-game basis.

McRoberts (lower body) won't play Wednesday against the Pacers, Earl K. Sneed of the Mavericks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mavericks still haven't provided a clear timeline for McRoberts to make his season debut, so it appears likely that his lower-extremity injury will sideline him for the team's final three contests of December. McRoberts won't hold a major role off the Dallas bench once he's healthy.

McRoberts (lower body) remains out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Earl K. Sneed of the Mavericks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McRoberts resumed on-court workouts about two weeks ago, but the Mavericks haven't provided much in the way of an update since that time of how he's progressing in his recovery from the lower-extremity injury, which has prevented him from making his season debut. Considering that the fragile McRoberts has been limited to no more than 42 appearances in any of the previous three campaigns, he could be subject to frequent rest once the Mavericks clear him to suit up in games.

McRoberts (lower body) will be sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Hawks, Earl K. Sneed of the Mavericks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis

McRoberts (lower body) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Heat, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McRoberts was able to do some 5-on-0 work a little over a week ago, but continues to remain on the shelf and hasn't been given a timetable for his return. For that reason, he'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis, with his next shot to play coming on Saturday against the Hawks.
