Gana improving and may play Friday

Gana Diop is doing much better, according to Avery Johnson today, and could be in the lineup Friday night against Detroit at American Airlines Center. The only non-injured center on the roster returned to Dallas before Tuesday night’s road game because of the flu.

Diop has been resting and taking medication, and the plan is for him to do some cardio tomorrow in preparation for the Pistons. His absence, plus injuries to Erick Dampier (shoulder), DJ Mbenga (knee) and Jamal Sampson (ankle) forced Johnson to use Brandon Bass and Darvin Ham at center against Sacramento. Both fouled out.
