A sore right foot kept Peja Stojakovic out of Friday's game, according to the Sacramento Bee. He missed some preseason action with plantar fasciitis.

The Mavs received a medical exception from the NBA Friday and used it sign Mark Strickland to a contract, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Damon Stoudamire did not play Friday for what Portland coach Mo Cheeks said was personal reasons, according to the AP. However, it was a strange coincidence that he sat out the game following his benching on Tuesday after he had a heated exchange with the coach.

Darius Miles didn't practice yesterday, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Rather, he spent time in the trainer's room rehabbing his knee. Cavs coach John Lucas said Miles would be in the mix for today's game.
