Devin Harris set to make season debut; news not so good for Dirk Nowitzki

Devin Harris is set to make his season debut tonight against San Antonio after missing the first five weeks of the Mavericks' season because of a preseason injury to his right big toe.

"At this point, it looks like he will (play)," cocah Rick Carlisle said, "unless something were to happen between now and then. He's done well over the last 2 ½ weeks as he's increased his activity. He will play some tonight if all goes well."

Harris suffered the injury in the final preseason game and the original prognosis was that he would need surgery and could miss three months.
