Dirk Nowitzki: No pain in injured knee

Nowitzki said he felt no pain in the swollen right knee that kept him out of Wednesday's game against Minnesota and is hopeful he can play in Dallas's next game Friday against the Thunder, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Nowitzki has been keeping up pretty well for a 37-year-old, as he has started 40 of Dallas's 44 games this season. Consider him questionable for Friday until he is cleared to play, but it sounds like Nowitzki and the Mavericks were just playing it safe by holding him out Wednesday.
