Dirk doesn’t make road trip ... for now

Dirk Nowitzki didn’t make the road trip that left today for tomorrow’s game at Denver. He remained in Dallas to work with assistant trainer Dionne Calhoun in the HydroWorx pool.

Nowitzki is working on mechanics and increased weight-bearing activities. Yes, a little technical, but that’s what they’re doing.

There still is no timetable set for his return. The trek continues at Golden State (Sunday) and LA Clippers (Monday).

“He’s actually walking around pretty good, so we want to just keep him moving in the right direction,” Avery Johnson said. “If we get a miracle and he meets us at the end of the trip, fine. But if not, we’ll just plan on seeing him when we get back.”
