Check out this video of the latest matchup between Dallas and Denver. Notice Ty Lawson takes the starting role for missing point guard Chauncey Billups.
Dallas wins 104 -96 after Carmelo Anthony fouls out with a little more than two minutes remaining.
A few days ago, Dirk was injured during the game against Houston. Dirk literally had a couple teeth embedded in his elbow. That is probably the first and last time I will ever use that sentence.
ESPNDallas.com reports that coach Rick Carlisle has said they will revisit whether Dirk is ready to play before each game.
Nowitzki said he’s hoping for a Tuesday return.
“I’m on every pill there is,” he said. “We’ll just see how it responds. If it’s not Tuesday, definitely on [Saturday].”
Chron.com noted that after losing a few teeth, Landry returned to practice Monday and pronounced himself fit to play in Tuesday night’s game.
Landry endured six hours of surgery to repair his teeth. He said two were clipped at his gum line, and he has temporary fixes. He has been relegated to eating soft foods — soup, yogurt, “healthy stuff,” he said — and is not sure when he will get back to solids.
“It’s not going to stop me,” Landry said. “It wasn’t life-threatening or anything. It was a little bit of pain. We all go through things in life where it’s kind of painful. You fall, but you get back up again, and that’s what I did.”
Here’s some NBA video goodness to end the day. You’re welcome.

Coach Avery Johnson sent Barea down to D League a while back to work on some fundamentals. After back to back 40 point games, Avery decided it might be a good idea to have him back on the team. This year, under Rick Carlisle, Barea has blossomed, landing a starting position for several games and contributing serious points and intangibles in each effort.
