Josh Howard only lasted six minutes in Wednesday night's 121-118 Game 1 loss to the Suns after spaining his right ankle in the first quarter.

It was the same ankle Howard sprained early this season, when he missed 10 games. According to the Dallas Morning-News, X-rays on his ankle were negative. An MRI exam is scheduled for today.

When asked about his status for Game 2 on Friday, he said, "I don't know."
