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.

Mavericks assistant general manager Keith Grant got an interesting phone call from the NBA office at halftime of Friday night's game.
It was to inform the Mavs that they needed to limit their players from showing so much exuberance on the sidelines during the game. The league is cracking down on players standing in front of the bench, which of course blocks the views of customers in the not-inexpensive seats near the bench.
"I think it shows the great cohesiveness we have on our team," owner Mark Cuban said. "Our guys are always pulling for each other and I think fans can appreciate that. The league called, and we're fine with that."
