Avery Johnson said. "We thought Brandon Bass would be OK, but he couldn't go. And we'll see how it goes for Josh Howard. We hope he'll be able to practice, but if not we'll treat him and go from there.</p> </p> Joining Bass on the sideline was Devin Harris, who missed his second consecutive game with a left thigh injury. Harris said before the game that there was no question he would return for Thursday's visit to Golden State.</p> </p> There was plenty of other news on the medical front.
