His Achilles tendon has been bothering him since he played 38 minutes in a season-opening overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers.Hes come a long way in the four-week-plus period, but its an Achilles sttrain and its taking time, Carlisle said.dddddddddddd Its as simple as that, so we have to do whatever is right here to make sure that he is gradually working his way back into this.

My hope is that is that it can be complete some time in December, sooner than later, but weve just got to be patient.The injury-ravaged Mavs are off to a miserable start.
