Devin Harris is the kind of veteran, versatile player Dallas coach Rick Carlisle likes in his backcourt — he can run the point or be a small two-guard off the ball. Carlise wants multiple ball handlers on the court and Harris allows him to do that with a number of different combinations.
Or rather, Harris will allow Carlisle to do that once he gets healthy. From Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com.
Rick Carlisle says Devin Harris will be in a walking boot for likely 3 weeks with a right big toe sprain. Will be reevaluated then.

Harris had surgery on the big toe on his other foot, this injury is to the “good” one. Harris can be a bit injury prone and the Mavs likely will bring him along slowly.
This likely means more J.J. Barea and Seth Curry in the short term in Dallas.
