Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki: Upgraded to questionable for Wednesday

Nowitzki (Achilles) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

Nowitzki has missed the last 13 games while nursing an Achilles injury, but was recently able to take part in some individual workouts. It appears Nowitzki is finally nearing a return to the court and he'll go into Wednesday with a questionable designation. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if Nowitzki was ultimately held out again for additional rest and recovery, but look for another update following the team's morning shootaround.
