Dallas Mavericks swingman Josh Howard was reportedly taken out of Wednesday's game (Nov.11) against the San Antonio Spurs due to soreness in his surgically repaired left ankle. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle reportedly noticed Howard limping during the course of the game, moreso at the start of the second half, and decided to take some precautions on the second night of a back-to-back.

Howard did provide a spark for Dallas in his first two games back, but his last game was a disaster. J-Ho shot only 2-11 from the field and seemed content with shooting jumpers rather than going to the basket.

Dallas plays three games (all on the road) in the next five days, starting with Minnesota on Friday night (Nov.13). It is uncertain whether Howard will play.

(UPDATE: Howard Out Indefinitely)
