NBA: Mavs' owner Cuban has left hip replaced

Advertiser Staff

DALLAS — Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had hip replacement surgery today.

Cuban is expected to remain in the hospital for 2-3 days after having his left hip replaced. Cuban will have to use crutches to get around for about three weeks after that.

Team officials said the 48-year-old Cuban is expected to make a full recovery, and that the replacement will not prevent him from doing his regular activities. Cuban said during the NBA draft last night that he'd still be able to play basketball after getting his hip replaced.
