The longer it goes, the better chance the 7-foot All-Star has of making it back. Doctors initially said the injury requires 10-14 days to heal; today will be the sixth day since he was hurt. A seventh game would be Saturday night, or eight days into the healing process.
They've done alright without him....so far.
Well, they're 1 - 2 without him, and I attribute the one win a couple nights ago more to the Spurs' incredible (and fairly recent) talent for choking than to the Mavs's sans-Niwitski prowess. If it goes 7, I'd want the big man back in a big way.
Thanks for the link.
