Dirk Nowitzki is ramping up his activity level at recent practices and coach Rick Carlisle said after Tuesday's workout that November game action remains a distinct possibility.
"A little more each day," Carlisle said when asked what Nowitzki was able to do on the court. "We're getting closer. I think a couple weeks ago I said I'd be thrilled if he played in the month of November - if things keep going the way they they're going, there's a chance that could happen. We'll see. He's not there yet. He's still a ways off, but steady progress and no setbacks.
