Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban commented on the situation surrounding Josh Howard and realizes the forward's comments about the national anthem were wrong, according to Associated Press.

In his blog, Cuban also responded to e-mails he has received commenting on the player's remarks by saying Howard "will work with us" and "beyond that, it's a private issue."

Cuban posted a number of the inflammatory replies on his blog site Thursday night, with the e-mail addresses of the senders.

By Friday night, Cuban's remarks slugged, "Thanks for the advice on Josh" had been removed from the blog and replaced with a posting saying, "I made my point."
