Even after Dirk Nowitzki missed practice Thursday with a bruised right retina, the Mavericks listed him as probable for Friday night's game against Sacramento.
Nowitzki left late in the first quarter of Wednesday night's game against Toronto because of blurred vision. He didn't return, but said after the game, a 117-98 victory, that the problem stemmed from being poked in the eye during the previous game Monday night against Minnesota.
Team specialist Dr. Maurice Syrquin examined Nowitzki on Wednesday night and cleared him for all basketball activity.
