DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) - Reports say that Dallas Mavericks rookie  guard Shane Larkin has broken his ankle during a summer league practice and could miss two to three months.

Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news Friday night, tweeting:

Larkin commented on his twitter account that the reports of his injury were true and that he would "come back stronger than before."
