Analysis:

Nowitzki suffered the injury in the narrow Game 2 victory over the Thunder on Monday night, but still managed to play 38 minutes and produce 18 points and four rebounds.. Coach Rick Carlisle commented he hoped the injury isn't "something that's going to cause [Nowitzki] to miss any time," but the Mavericks should have a clearer idea on his health following Wednesday's practice.
