J.J. Barea may have just suffered a serious injury.
The Mavericks veteran guard had to be carried off the floor in Dallas' matchup with the Timberwolves after suffering what appeared to be a leg injury.
JJ Barea carried off the floor. He'd been carrying the Mavs offense -- and dominating. Unfortunately, Luka Doncic checks in for him...

This was after J.J. Barea went down the first time. Obviously in a lot of pain. Was helped to the locker room. I hate every bit of this pic.twitter.com/AQdtmuzW7p

Barea has come off of the bench almost exclusively in his career with the Mavericks, but he has been a mainstay in the team's lineup for years and a key player coming on in relief.
He is averaging 10.8 points and 5.5 assists in 37 games this year (zero starts) while playing just 19.7 minutes per game.
