Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki: Listed as questionable for Wednesday

Nowitzki (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Along with Nowitzki, Deron Williams (calf) and Andrew Bogut (calf) are listed as questionable, so the Mavs could have a chance at getting multiple players back into their lineup prior to Thanksgiving. Nowitzki has been sidelined for eight straight games with a sore right Achilles, but after taking part in a full-court practice Thursday, it appears he's on the cusp of a return. Once he demonstrates that he's over the injury, Nowitzki will likely still sit out a few games over the course of the campaign for rest purposes, but he otherwise looks in line to reclaim his starting role and play around 30 minutes per contest. Look for the team to make an official ruling on Nowitzki's status sometime after morning shootaround.
