Nelson (back spasms) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

The back issue forced Nelson out of Wednesday's game against the Knicks, but his questionable listing would seem to suggest a long-term absence isn't in store just yet. The Mavericks should have more information on Nelson's status following Friday's morning shootaround. Devin Harris, who logged 40 minutes in place of Nelson against the Knicks, would likely be tabbed for the start again if Nelson is unable to go.
