The Mavericks have confirmed a report in the French newspaper L'Equipe that guard Rodrigue Beaubois broke his foot while training with the national team.

Beaubois broke the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot. The worst-case scenario would be that Beaubois needs surgery and will miss three months of action.

The team is is flying Beaubois back to Dallas so the Mavericks staff can evaluate the severity of the injury and treat it.

"As long as he is ready at the beginning of the season, it will be fine," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wrote in an e-mail to ESPN.com. "Might give [Mavericks first-round pick Dominique Jones] a chance to shine."
