Dirk Nowitzki: Questionable to play Sunday

Nowitzki is questionable to play Sunday against the Rockets due to recurring issues with his right knee, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Nowitzki was forced to sit out Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves with a swollen right knee, but returned to action Friday against the Thunder, and produced 14 points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks in 29 minutes. It appears he's still being bothered to an extent by the injury, but the Mavericks will revisit his status during pregame warmups Sunday before making a call. If Nowitzki is forced to sit out, Charlie Villanueva and Dwight Powell could be relied upon for added minutes in the frontcourt.
