DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki is questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers because of a sprained left ankle.
Nowitzki had to be helped off the court after he got hurt late in the first quarter of Wednesday's 103-95 victory at Seattle. X-rays were negative.
There was no availability with the Mavericks on Thursday, when they traveled home from Seattle. But the team issued a release that said no MRI was planned for Nowitzki.
Nowitzki had six points before he was hurt following a missed free throw by teammate Jerry Stackhouse.
Seattle's Chris Wilcox jumped for the rebound and was bumped by DeSagana Diop of the Mavericks. Wilcox fell to the ground, his legs spreading and his left foot hitting Nowitzki just above his left foot, causing the All-Star's ankle to roll.
