Dirk Nowitzki: Likely out at least two more games

Dirk Nowitzki (Achilles) will sit out Saturday's game against the Bulls and is unlikely to play Monday against the Hornets either, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

It was though that Nowitzki could return to action Monday following what would be a four-game absence, but head coach Rick Carlisle indicated Friday that Nowitzki would likely be held out at least until next Wednesday, and reiterated that Nowitzki "is really out indefinitely." The Mavericks will continue to update Nowitzki's status over the next few days, but fantasy players should anticipate him missing two more games and possibly more.
