Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki: Out again Monday vs. Spurs

Nowitzki (Achilles) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

The Mavericks continue to evaluate both Nowitzki and Deron Williams (calf) on a day-to-day basis, but neither player traveled with the team to San Antonio and will apparently turn their sights toward a potential return in Wednesday's home date with the Clippers. While it appeared that Nowitzki was close to returning from the sore right Achilles last week, he'll remain out for an eighth straight game, allowing undrafted rookie Dorian Finney-Smith to maintain a spot in the starting five.
