Mavericks' Tariq Owens: Won't return Wednesday
Owens (knee) is out for the remainder of Wednesday's Summer League game against the Jazz, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Owens appeared to suffer a non-contact injury to his left leg while going up for a layup, and after staying down for some time, he managed to limp to the locker room under his own power. The extent of the injury remains unclear at this time, but the Mavs are calling it a left knee injury.

Tariq Owens: Scores 10 points off bench
Owens notched 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), five blocks, three rebounds and an assist across 23 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss against Fort Wayne.
Owens delivered an impressive performance on both ends of the court for Long Island, as he missed just one shot from the field and also recorded five swats, making his presence felt on the defensive side of the ball. Owens hasn't seen consistent minutes off the bench, though, and his limited role also translates to limited upside.

Suns' Tariq Owens: Not available for season restart
Owens was excluded from the Suns' 15-man roster for the season restart in Orlando, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
As the Suns' only two-way player, Owens was an obvious choice to be the odd man out, given that Phoenix has 15 other men signed to standard NBA contracts. Owens' deal is set to expire this offeason, but Phoenix would retain his rights as a restricted free agent if they elect to tender him a contract for 2020-21. The undrafted rookie out of Texas Tech made three appearances at the NBA level this season, averaging 1.3 points and 1.0 rebound in 5.0 minutes per game.

Owens was recalled from the G League ahead of Monday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Owens finished with 22 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 G League loss to Agua Caliente.

He snagged his first steal in four games and recorded multiple blocks for his fifth time in six games. The extra minutes may not last long, though, due to the short nature of winter illnesses.
