Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki, recovering from a strained right Achilles tendon, told ESPN.com on Thursday that he has begun to resume on-court work as he moves toward a return to the lineup.But Nowitzki stressed that hell need to get through a full-speed practice or two this weekend with no setbacks before hes cleared to play.Its definitely better, but I really havent done much yet, Nowitzki told ESPN.com. Today was good, but we didnt go anything close to full speed. Just started moving on the court a bit.We dont want to rush anything and go back to where we were last week. So if I feel anything this weekend, theyre going to ease off again. Obviously I want to play in the Garden on Monday (against the Knicks) and I want to play in Boston (on Wednesday) -- two of my favorite road spots. But I just dont know at this point if its going to happen.Nowitzki suffered the Achilles strain in the Mavericks season opener at Indiana on Oct. 26. After missing the next two games due to illness, Nowitzki struggled with his movement in a road defeat Nov. 2 at Utah and again in a home loss Nov. 4 to Portland before shutting things down at halftime against the Blazers.While the Mavericks were in California this week, splitting road games against the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, Nowitzki stayed behind in Dallas to receive treatment from his personal German physiotherapist Jens Joppich.On Nov. 5, the Mavericks announced that Nowitzki, 38, would miss at least one week due to the Achilles discomfort.Dallas has reached the playoffs in 15 of the past 16 seasons. The lone exception was 2012-13, when Nowitzki, who ranks as the NBAs sixth-all-time leading scorer, missed the opening two months after needing arthroscopic knee surgery.? Under Armour Soldes .

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina struggled during a hurricane. Now the Tar Heels have to deal with the Miami Hurricanes.A debacle in a downpour led to an ugly first Atlantic Coast Conference loss of the year for UNC (4-2, 2-1), and now the Tar Heels know they have to be much better this week when they visit Miami (4-1, 1-1) -- which itself is stinging from a one-point loss to its most bitter rival.After looking at the film, North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said Monday, it wasnt any better.At least the Hurricanes could take some small consolation in that their loss to Florida State was competitive. The Seminoles blocked what would have been the game-tying extra point with 1:38 remaining in a 20-19 victory over Miami.You saw how we lost. You saw how they lost, quarterback Mitch Trubisky said. Were both going to come in hungry for a win.Nothing went right for the Tar Heels in a 34-3 loss to the Hokies , who proved much tougher than both UNC and the elements. Playing in a driving rain and amid gusting winds from Hurricane Matthew, the Tar Heels failed to score a touchdown for the first time under Fedora and were outgained by a more than 2-to-1 margin.And while some of those stats can rightfully be blamed on the weather -- UNCs 131 total yards, its fewest in a game since 1999, were in line with what some of their ACC neighbors gained in similar conditions -- they dont begin to explain how they were completely dominated by the Hokies.We were so inconsistent in everything we did, Fedora said. You could just pick and choose anything and something was going wrong. We just never did get going.Indeed, the Tar Heels just never looked anything like the team that rallied from 13 down in the final 6 minutes to beat Pittsburgh on a TD pass with 2 seconds left, nor the team that won at Florida State on a final-play 54-yard field goal to climb back into the national rankings.ddddddddddddTrubisky threw his first interceptions of the year -- with the first ending a program-record streak of 243 attempts without one -- and was just 13 of 33 for 58 yards after hitting the 400-yard mark in his previous three games. Some of those struggles, of course, can be blamed on the heavy, waterlogged balls themselves.I just couldnt put what I want on it, he said.It didnt help that Elijah Hood was ruled out before the game because of an undisclosed injury from the previous week at Florida State, robbing the Tar Heels of their top tailback whose physical running style would have been helpful in the conditions. Fedora said he expects Hood to play this week against Miami, but added that he wont know anything until the team returns to practice Tuesday.You hope (having Hood) would help in the slop against the Hokies, Fedora said. But if he was playing like everybody else, it wouldnt have mattered, because it wasnt just one guy. It was multiple guys.---AP Sports Writer Aaron Beard in Chapel Hill contributed to this report.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/joedy-mccreary---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org China NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Online Stitched Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Outlet College Jerseys For Sale Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys For Sale Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
