After Dirk Nowitzki didn’t come back out for the second half of the Portland game at home, Rick Carlisle announced after the game that Nowitzki would be out for at least a week due to soreness in his Achilles.

Now the week mark is here and Nowitzki is starting to increase his activity on the court.

Carlisle says Dirk Nowitzki is doing better and will pick up his activity more tomorrow. Then will see where he is.

So when Nowitzki is back to game ready, should Dallas experiment bringing him off the bench?

Although this sounds ridiculous to a lot of Mavs faithfuls, the idea has been quietly gaining momentum among fans as they see what Memphis is doing with Zach Randolph.
