Nowitzki (knee) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Nowitzki seems optimistic about his chances of playing Friday, but fantasy owners will have to monitor his status prior to game time while his return isn't set in stone. Although he was forced to sit Wednesday against the Timbewolves with the injury, a long absence doesn't figure to be in store for the German forward.
