Dirk Nowitzki 'making real progress'


By Jeff Caplan

SAN ANTONIO -- Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, for the 17th consecutive day, was asked how injured star Dirk Nowitzki was doing and if he'd be ready to return to action.

And, for the 17th consecutive day, Carlisle provided his unwavering response: "We'll let you know. He's working at it and making progress. He's day to day."

That means nothing has changed heading into the Mavs' showdown against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Nowitzki, who has missed a career-high eight games, did not participate in team drills Thursday and was limited to working up a hearty sweat by shooting, running laps around the basketball court at Trinity University, where the team practiced and one-on-one stretching and agility work with head athletic trainer Casey Smith.

Nowitzki has been listed as day to day since he sprained his right knee Dec. 27 in Oklahoma City. After X-rays and an MRI exam, the injury was presumably diagnosed as a minor setback and the team listed his status accordingly. Speculation therefore, and understandably so, focused on a quick return to the court for the Mavs' leading scorer and MVP candidate.

Carlisle, however, did shed a bit more light on the matter as the days and losses (six in eight games) continue to mount without Nowitzki.

"Dirk increases his workouts every day and signs are positive," Carlisle said. "But it's very important that we focus on the guys we have available at this time and make sure that he gets back absolutely 100 percent healthy. We've listed him day to day because we don't believe this is a serious injury and he is making progress.

"On the other hand, we are going to maintain an extremely cautious posture on this going forward, and like everyone else we want him to get back 100 percent healthy as soon as possible."

Carlisle added: "There are different phases of the rehab process. He's making progress. I mean he's making real progress, I think you guys see that. We'll let you know when he's going to play. Hey, it could be very soon or it could be a while."

The Mavs could very well head into a second game against San Antonio in nine days without their main man. During Nowitzki's absence, the Spurs have opened up a six-game lead on Dallas and the Mavs enter the game having lost three in a row for the second time during this stretch. They'll try to avoid a first four-game skid of the season.

Nowitzki, who last week acknowledged that he had underestimated the recovery time needed, desperately wants to get back during this four-game road trip.

"In the meantime, as a team," Carlisle said, "we must focus on the guys we have available and find ways to win games with them."

Teammate Tyson Chandler, who has been plagued with injuries the past two seasons, said no matter how bad things may seem at the moment, Nowitzki can't rush his return.

"I want him to be 100 percent before he comes back," Chandler said. "The thing is you don't want to rush anything. I've been there. I've rushed. I've been on the sideline and been in the same situation, watched my team lose, watched my team suffer, and then try to jump back out there and before you know it something else is bothering you. We need him for the long haul.

"I would much rather have him down the stretch when it counts."

No Nowitzki vs. Spurs tonight at AT&T Center, and Tyson Chandler missed shootaround with sore throat.

http://twitter.com/M_Monroe_in_SA

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Just heard about Tyson, Carlisle says he is hopeful that Chandler can go.

[quentin_compson]

All those injuries suck, but I'm looking forward to this game anyway. Here's hoping for a Splitter sighting, but I'm not too optimistic.

[slayermin]

I don't care if Dirk is out. I want the Spurs to put it on them tonight.

Score 120 and keep them under 40% shooting.

[Budkin]

More wins against Mavs = tiebreaker for playoffs

Vegas has the line at Spurs -10. Seems pretty steep, even without Dirk.

[MavDynasty]

No Dirk, Chandler, and Butler. Easy win for the spurs imo


103-83

[DesignatedT]

So Chandler is for sure out with a sore throat? lol

[Dex]

No Dirk, Chandler, and Butler. Easy win for the spurs imo


103-83

Nah. If history is any indicator, Spurs will come out laying bricks, and Turtlehead Terry will go for 30 on 10 shots. That should even the odds.

[MavDynasty]

Nah. If history is any indicator, Spurs will come out laying bricks, and Turtlehead Terry will go for 30 on 10 shots. That should even the odds.

imo I dont have the stats but for the past few seasons +playoffs Terry has sucked ass against the spurs from what I remember

[greyforest]

No Nowitzki vs. Spurs tonight at AT&T Center,

BOOO how are we supposed to figure out how to beat them come playoffs?

[Budkin]

I usually fear shorthanded teams but this should be an easy win.

[Nathan89]

Pop pregame, says Lakers still the best team in West, when it's all said and done.

Bonner suffered injury vs. MIL. Was non-contact. Says he stopped on a dime, and it hurt. "Or in my case, stopped on a half dollar."

Matt Bonner has a bone bruise in his right knee. No structural damage. Plans to be play. Will be up to pain tolerance.

ESPN_Caplan Tyson Chandler's got a fever and a sore throat, but he's going to play in #Mavs-Spurs III. "I've got to," he said.

[TimmehC]

Well, we'd better play Tiago to help Matt rehab his knee.

Asked to rank own team in West, Pop said: "Somewhere below Sacramento, before Tyreke sprained his ankle." #notreally #fakecoachpopwouldhave

[janetcn12]

The point is winning....Go Spurs Go...TP thrash the Mavs

[timtonymanu]

Classy Terry at his best.

[carina_gino20]

Oh Pop. :lol

[Tp9gospursgo]

Oh Pop. :lol

Was that Pop who hit Sean?

[Spurs Brazil]

GO SPURS GO

Fuck The Mavs

[Tp9gospursgo]

I see the Spurs blowing this one wide open. Hopefully.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I hate playing these guys without Dirk almost as much as Pop does. :lol

[janetcn12]

Starters TD, TP, Manu, RJ & DJ ...go Spurs Go...send cuban back to Dallas

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TD!

[benefactor]

Good to see TP aggressive early.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD dunk!!

[CFH]

Timmy dunk

[BlairForceDejuan]

Blair's height is such a glaring weakness on the Spurs lineup!!!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Timmyyyy with the DUNK!

[benefactor]

Mavs paint defense is horrible right now.

[CFH]

Blair!

[Spurs Brazil]

Great start Tony

[CFH]

Tony!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Tony is looking good tonight!

[8FOR!3]

lol at Alexis Ajinca in the starting lineup. I know Dirk's hurt, but there's gotta be a better option than that lol.

[CFH]

Blair throws it down!

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair DUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[benefactor]

Beautiful pass.

[Tp9gospursgo]

Dayummmmmm Blair!

[carina_gino20]

Beast almost destroyed that backboard!

[Spurs Brazil]

Ajinca is pathetic. Terrible player. Keep playing this guy

[timtonymanu]

Great start so far.

[AidanNelson2009]

Blair with the dunk !! great pass by TP

[Bukefal]

Nice Tony :clap

[BlairForceDejuan]

DB, save the backboard for the rest of the game my man.

[tdunk21]

tp to blair.....nice

[Capt Bringdown]

Looking good, we could use an easy win. Let's get this over with, pronto.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sharp start by Parker, and some nice defensive rotations too.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Monster dunk by Blair!

[Drachen]

dang, I gotta watch this on espn?? Sucks

[benefactor]

Looking good, we could use an easy win. Let's get this over with, pronto.
It probably won't happen that way. Even with all the injuries, I still expect the Mavs to play tough and be in the game late.

[Mel_13]

lol at Alexis Ajinca in the starting lineup. I know Dirk's hurt, but there's gotta be a better option than that lol.

Must mean Dirk is close to returning. Marion would be a better option, but that moves Stevenson to SF and Terry to the starting line-up. This way, Marion, Stevenson, and Terry play the same roles that they will when Dirk returns.

[Fireball]

nice start for the Spurs ... and during a game break International League Pass now shows "NBA's greatest moments" ... Lakers and Celtics over and over again

[AidanNelson2009]

TP again

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CFH]

Parker beasting

[Fermixalot]

Tony just took Chandler to school.

[BlairForceDejuan]

TP is too damn good at finishing around the basket.

[DeadlyDynasty]

JVG: "He (TP) is one of the great lay-up shooters of the last decade."
What a pointless, unflattering remark

[Spurs Brazil]

Give the ball to RJ, Cardinal is guarding him

TD playing great D

[BlairForceDejuan]

TD with gray hairs on his goatee :depressed



:lol

[benefactor]

Bonner/Blair time. Mavs should attack the rim relentlessly.

[8FOR!3]

Chandler's an issue for us because he's very long and isn't clumsy like someone such as Ajinca. So he'll look good against someone like Blair or Bonner. Hopefully we'll have Splitter able to guard him come playoff time, because I think he's more than capable.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Brian Cardinal looks eerily similar to Danny Ferry. :lol

[BlairForceDejuan]

love seeing Hill D up Terry

[8FOR!3]

Brian Cardinal looks eerily similar to Danny Ferry. :lol

True, but at least Danny Ferry didn't suck.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony J

[CFH]

Parker J

[8FOR!3]

Gary Neal's D on Jason Terry on that last play before the missed Hill layup was fuckin phenomenal.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill needs to finish that

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker is making marmalade of Chandler. :D

[Supreme_Being]

WTF How could you miss that Georgie?

[BanditHiro]

aww fuck jason terry is going to kill us...and i love how the mavs lied about Chandler illness...he has been there the entire quarter. fucking belicheat tactics.

[Fireball]

Spurs do a good job on closing out Steveson at the 3 point line ... but the Jet takes off already in the 1st quarter

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

True, but at least Danny Ferry didn't suck.

Ferry sucked a bit, especially for a number 2 pick.

Cardinal had one good year and turned it into 30mil, so give him some credit! :lmao

[BoricuaCJA]

TP dominating right now. I loved how Duncan and Blair went hard for the dunk. The only thing I hate is when Blair is in, He is so small that we just can't protect the rim well with him in. I already seen 3 or 4 times where they drive on him, where if he was a few inches taller, the opposing player most likely wouldn't of got such an easy shot over him.

[Spurs Brazil]

stupid dumb Blair

[CFH]

WTF Blair

[Tp9gospursgo]

Damnit Blair.

[CFH]

Bonner 3!

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner 333333

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

aww fuck jason terry is going to kill us...and i love how the mavs lied about Chandler illness...he has been there the entire quarter. fucking belicheat tactics.

Over-reaction much?

You are the new drama queen of the game threads. Ice's mantle has been passed! :lmao

"that little booger"

Blair floater

[timtonymanu]

Over-reaction much?

You are the new drama queen of the game threads. Ice's mantle has been passed! :lmao

At least Ice made sense. This one says retarded things a lot.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I love our team - a lot of the time Parker actually tells the opposition exactly what we're going to do, and still they can'[t stop it. :D

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

At least Ice made sense. This one says retarded things a lot.

No doubt. :tu :lol

[CFH]

Come on Neal, no reason to do that

[timtonymanu]

Neal, so fuckin dumb.

[Warlord23]

Playing like ass on the fast break, thank heavens the Mavs are woeful

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

what a bad ending to the 1st :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Grizzlah looking active today. Good sign.

[BanditHiro]

fuck ian has already outplayed tiago splitter

[BoricuaCJA]

Stupid pass, even if he would of got it, still dumb imo.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 8 after one

Tony with a great 1st quarter

[Tp9gospursgo]

Pass a little too far but not a bad 1st quarter. Good to see Tony being aggressive.

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs need a dedicated end-of-quarter coach.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why didn't they review that play? Isn't that what the end of quarter reviews are for?

[Fireball]

Spurs need a dedicated end-of-quarter coach.

What had Pop to do with that last hail mary pass by Neal? Right, nothing. Just a bad decision by the player ...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Mahinmi is much better than Ajinca. I'm surprised the latter ever makes it on the court.

[BanditHiro]

What had Pop to do with that last hail mary pass by Neal? Right, nothing. Just a bad decision by the player ...

bad decision by both player. manu probably told him to do that and gary neal listened instead of just passing it to hill and ending the quarter or something

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I don't like Bucher - he's a preening Faker flunky. Ugh. :flipoff

[Capt Bringdown]

What had Pop to do with that last hail mary pass by Neal? Right, nothing. Just a bad decision by the player ...

Relax, just goofing on the Spurs tendency to not close out quarters well. They've done a lot better job this year, obviously.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wish I was sitting courtside sipping on a foot-long margarita... :depressed

Actually he sit when Bonner came in then he came back for TD

[Tp9gospursgo]

What a play! MANU!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ugh, Dwarfy Barea on the court. Hate that guy,

[Fireball]

Blair leads the team with +15 ... I guess thats new

[Martin R]

this could turn into a serious rape of the Mavs......they better get their lubs...

[Capt Bringdown]

Now that was a sweet pass by Blair.
This should be a fun game, let's get to garbage time ASAP.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Actually he sit when Bonner came in then he came back for TD

Thanks, thought that was strange. Didn't sit for long though, did he?

Spurs looking ultra-sharp tonight. :D

[mystargtr34]

Bonner is a really smart and switched on defender... hes just too undersized to be anything more than poor-average. Blair is undersized AND clueless... which makes it tough obviously.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[CFH]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i would really like to not look at dirk's face, bspn

[BanditHiro]

wow obvious fucking cheap shot ref. even if he was playing after the whistle you don't play defense like that.

Fuck you Terry, you little cunt. Tech foul is the right call.

parker to blair: "You're doing it wrong."

LOLOLOLOL! yes

[Capt Bringdown]

Why in the world is Duncan playing?

[8FOR!3]

Interesting, now we've got Gary Neal running point. I think he can get away with it because he can create his shot and drive.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Come on guys, that was nothing by Terry, but another Manu flop ...

Since Mavs aren't winning anyway, we might as well injure their players

It's going to take a lot more than Terry's bitch cheap shots to injure Manu.

[Fireball]

Terry SET HIS SHOULDER. Open your eyes.

calm down, I only saw it the first time in real time and it did not look that way ... tech foul was the right call

[Banzai]

Not much of a game. No surprises here.

[dbestpro]

Mavs trying to bait Spurs to playing sloppy bt playing sloppy.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dice again working on the boards

[BanditHiro]

whoa to many three. but the one from hill was okay since it was set by penetration

[Bartleby]

the Spurs look bored.

[InRareForm]

Mavs look terrible

[Capt Bringdown]

Take the starters out! No need for Duncan to be playing.

[Martin R]

Manu is like +30

[timtonymanu]

Dice again working on the boards

I'm surprised how good he's been this year especially since he doesn't start caring until after the all-star break.

Loving his hustle.

[BillWalton]

Even though they're missing there 2 best players, you'd expect the Mavs to play better defense atleast

[BoricuaCJA]

I really do wish the Mavs were healthy tonight b/c this game ain't worth anything other than another W in the win column and another game lead against the Mavs. I really want to see how this team would do against a healthy Mavs.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Did Duncan just share Blairs towel :lol

and last game, the camera caught duncan using the towel lying on RJ's back

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Take the starters out! No need for Duncan to be playing.

I'm sure Pop will jump right on that

[KenziE]

I really do wish the Mavs were healthy tonight b/c this game ain't worth anything other than another W in the win column and another game lead against the Mavs. I really want to see how this team would do against a healthy Mavs.

fuck them mavs i could careless about their health

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Indeed. I have been thinking the same thing.

His point was that this teaches us nothing about how we match up with their full team.

This game sucks because nobody will ever mention anything after tonight about the win but if the Mavs somehow pull it off, their asshole cockroach fans will never let us hear the end of it

What happened to their defense?

I remember at one point they had the best statistical defense in the league?

Its not that I care about their team. I just want to see how we would do against them healthy. The only player I really like on their team is Dirk. He is just such a really really good player.
