    Lamar Odom might be the next struggling veteran on the Dallas Mavericks to get a layoff to work on conditioning and his game.

    Dirk Nowitzki's personal training camp is expected to end in time for him to play Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs after sitting out four games. Owner Mark Cuban said Friday during an appearance on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's "Ben and Skin Show" that there have been preliminary internal discussions about taking a similar approach with Odom.

    Odom, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, has essentially slumped all season after being traded from the Los Angeles Lakers in December. He's averaging 7.7 points on 32.9 percent shooting, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists -- drastic drops from the 14.4 points on 53.0 percent shooting, 8.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists Odom averaged for the Lakers last season, production that reflects the norm over his 12-year career.
