Shawn Kemp was unable to travel to Houston to work out for Mavericks coach Avery Johnson on Wednesday. His chance of signing with the club is not gone though.

"I'm not disappointed, but it just didn't work," Johnson said of the missed opportunity. "We'll hopefully do it in the next day or two, so it still may happen."

A spokesman for Kemp's agent, Houston-based Tony Dutt, said Dutt was out of the country and wouldn't be back in Houston until Monday.
