The Dallas Mavericks will be without veteran center Willie Cauley-Stein when the 2019-20 NBA season resumes at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Cauley-Stein is opting out, citing the impending birth of his child.

That frees up a roster spot for Dallas, and Charania reported the Mavs are adding point guard Trey Burke for the remainder of the season.

Dallas acquired Cauley-Stein from the Golden State Warriors in January for a 2020 second-round pick. He made 13 appearances for the team, averaging 5.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 12.1 minutes per game.

His absence shouldn't hurt the Mavs too much since they'll still have Boban Marjanovic and Maxi Kleber to back up Kristaps Porzingis at center.

This will be Burke's second stint with Dallas after he finished out the 2018-19 season with the franchise.

The Philadelphia 76ers waived the 27-year-old in February after they added Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III ahead of the trade deadline.
