The deadline for a decision on Shawn Marion's early termination option is believed to be June 30.
Marion has one year and $9.31 million left on his deal. He won't get that much annually if he hits the open market, but he could possibly secure something around a three-year, $16 million deal. At age 35, he'd have to think long and hard about that. Marion averaged 12.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists as a defensive stopper for the Mavs this season. May 7 - 3:04 PM

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion's torrid play continued with 21 points, seven rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and zero turnovers in Sunday's win vs. the Hornets, which improved the Mavs' record to 40-40.

Marion has missed 15 games due to injury this season, but when active he's been a versatile force for Dallas and a solid fantasy option -- he's averaging 12.0 points on 51.2 percent shooting, 7.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks per game. It's a virtual certainty that he'll play out the final year of his contract with Dallas in 2013-14, worth $9.3 million.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion had 22 points, nine rebounds, three steals and a block on 9-of-16 shooting, while Vince Carter added 18 points, six boards, two assists, a steal, a block and three 3-pointers on 6-of-12 shooting off the bench Wednesday, but the Mavs still lost at home to the lowly Suns.

The loss will likely knock them out of the playoffs, but it's tough to place blame on Marion and Carter. Once the Mavericks are officially eliminated it's quite possible a lot of the Mavs' studs will start missing games, so owners will want to check for updates frequently.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion scored 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting (including a three) with 12 rebounds and a block in Friday's win over the Kings.

Marion carved up a Kings team that has no discernible plan on defense, but setting that aside he should be in most if not all lineups.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion blocked four shots in Saturday's amazing 100-98 comeback win against the Bulls, adding 10 points, eight boards and two assists in 33 minutes.

He hasn't been lighting it up on the offensive side with a combined 12 points in his previous two games, but he's had eight steals and Marion usually adds some defensive stats. He's more of a low upside player for now and Rick Carlisle's rotations can get a bit messy, which will limit the Matrix's consistency.
Mar 30 - 5:36 PM
Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion hit 2-of-6 shots for just four points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 26 minutes of Tuesday's tough win.

Marion had played very well in his two games since returning from a calf injury, but just couldn't get it going tonight. But he played good defense and still came through with a decent stat line, if you discount scoring. Look for him to bounce back in the next one.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion double-doubled in his return from a calf injury on Friday with 11 points and 13 boards, adding three assists and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes.

He missed eight games with a strained calf and it's a mild surprise to see him come back and play 31 minutes. The Matrix scored 22 points in his last game before the injury and was playing well, so he's worth a look in standard leagues.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion (calf) remains on track to return Friday against the Celtics.

Marion previously said he was hoping to return on Friday, and he confirmed on Thursday that his injury is no longer an issue. It will have been an eight-game absence for Marion, and his return will send Jae Crowder back to the bench.

Shawn Marion (calf) is active but won't play Wednesday night against the Nets.

Marion is expected to return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Celtics. Wednesday will be the eighth straight game he's missed and it's pretty obvious the Mavs' initial "day-to-day" timeline was just a tad misleading. Jae Crowder will continue to start in Marion's place with Vince Carter soaking up some extra minutes off the bench.

Shawn Marion (calf) said that he expects to be ready for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Marion will not return on Wednesday against the Nets, but it looks like he won't miss much more time. The Mavs also play the Celtics on Sunday, so Marion could return at that point if he's still not ready on Friday. Jae Crowder will continue to start in Marion's place with Vince Carter seeing a boost off the bench.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion (calf) did not play on Monday and he is out indefinitely.

There has been very little talk of a shutdown, but rather that the day-to-day designation being floated at the beginning of this injury was inaccurate. Jae Crowder will continue to start and Vince Carter will be the primary beneficiary of any missed time for Marion.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Shawn Marion (calf) missed Sunday's game, as expected, and there is no clear date for his return.

Marion has missed six games and counting, and his uncertain status spoils the Mavs' upcoming four-game week. Jae Crowder had 11 points, four rebounds and two steals on Sunday, and he'll continue to start at SF until Marion returns.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

Rick Carlisle said Friday that an MRI taken on Shawn Marion's injured calf showed a strain and not a contusion.

This explains the best-case scenario of a return "sometime next week," and owners should consider Marion out indefinitely until the reports begin to tighten up. Jae Crowder will be the likely starter while Marion is out, but Vince Carter is the fantasy beneficiary.

Shawn Marion - F - Mavericks

According to the Dallas Morning News, a "best-case scenario" would have Shawn Marion (calf) returning "sometime next week."

If that timetable holds true, Marion is in jeopardy of missing Friday's game against the Cavs, Sunday's game against the Thunder and possibly Monday's game against the Hawks. The Mavs also play Wednesday and Friday of next week, so Marion doesn't have a ton of time between games to heal. "We don't have anybody who can replace what Shawn does," Rick Carlisle said. For as long as Marion is out, Jae Crowder will continue to start with Vince Carter seeing a bigger role off the bench.

Shawn Marion will see a team doctor about his injured left calf on Friday.

His calf hasn't healed as fast as the Mavs hoped. Marion is out for Thursday's game and there's almost no chance he plays against the Cavs on Friday. Jae Crowder was terrific on Tuesday in 36 minutes and is worth a spot-start tonight with only two games on the docket. Vince Carter is also flirting with must-start status for leagues that count 3-pointers.
