    The Dallas Mavericks will still be without starters Dirk Nowitzki and Danny Fortson as they continue a four-game homestand against the Washington Wizards.
    Nowitzki badly sprained his right ankle in a 121-90 loss at Phoenix on Wednesday and Fortson will sit out the final game of a three-game suspension for a flagrant foul in that same game.

    Nowitzki -- leading the team with 19.2 points per game -- was still walking with crutches as of Friday and the Mavs are not sure when he will return.

    ``Looks like a while to me,'' Mavericks coach Don Nelson said Friday. ``He was on crutches today, which isn't good.''

    Without Nowitzki and Fortson the Mavs still boast a formidable frontcourt with Antoine Walker, 7-foot-6 center Shawn Bradley and reserve forward Antawn Jamison.

    Goodness I thought the last game was his last one. Man but this one should be easy for the Mavs to win. Might not be that entertaing no Arenas no Dirk, or Fortson. Oh well.. Game time!!
