Lineup news for tonight vs. Philly

Devin Harris is back tonight against Philadelphia. Erick Dampier and Eddie Jones are maybes. Harris missed Saturday’s loss at Portland to go back to Wisconsin because of the death of his grandfather.

All things considered, he said he was doing fine. This also happens to be his AAC debut, having missed the first two home games with a thigh injury.

“I feel OK. I’m about 95 percent,” Harris said this morning after shootaround. “My leg is still a little stiff, but we’ll definitely get out there and rev it up tonight. This team is playing pretty well and we definitely have to protect our home court, so the guys are really excited to get back home.”

Dampier and Jones are both game-time decisions. They made it through practice yesterday and today’s shootaround without any setbacks. Both will get another workout tonight before the game before Avery Johnson makes a decision.

The constant lineup shuffling has been a challenge.

“We’re always concerned,” Johnson said. “Right now you just can’t worry about the things you can’t control. I think that adds stress and once you put added stress on top of situations like that then you don’t think clearly, you don’t make rational decisions and you don’t have any fun. This is a lot of fun.

“This is a great opportunity for us. We have another good group. And we haven’t been able to see our group whole yet. Whether Damp plays at some point this week or not or Eddie Jones, we still won’t see them whole until they actually get in great game shape.”
