November 13, 2009 The Dallas Morning News reports that Josh Howard has been placed on the inactive list indefinitely as he tries to recover from offseason ankle surgery. Our View:Howard re-aggravated the injury on Wednesday, his second game of the season. Given his injury history, expect the Mavericks to be more cautious with his recovery this time around. |
|
November 12, 2009 According to the Dallas Morning News, Josh Howard was removed from Wednesday's game in the third quarter after limping on his surgically repaired ankle. Our View:This was likely a precautionary move since Howard was playing in his first back-to-back contests since returning from injury. He will be reevaluated before Friday's contest and will likely be a game-time decision. |
|
November 7, 2009 Josh Howard made his 2009 debut on Saturday night for the Mavericks, and it came in a win as Dallas defeated the Raptors 129-101. Howard scored 16 points and added four rebounds and three steals in the game. Our View:Not a bad debut for Howard, as he made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. The Mavs are ecstatic that he is back in the lineup, and he should be a nice addition to fantasy squads who have been waiting for his return. |
|
November 7, 2009 After missing the first five games of the season as he recovered from offseason ankle surgery, Josh Howard is expected to make his season debut on Saturday, according to the Dallas Morning News.

|
November 6, 2009 Josh Howard practiced Friday, according to the Dallas Morning News. He is recovering from ankle surgery. Our View:Howard is progressing but remains day-to-day, and is unlikely to make his season debut Saturday against the Raptors. |
|
November 3, 2009 The Mavericks have no timetable for Josh Howard's return from his ankle injury, according to the Dallas Morning News. Our View:He is also dealing with a sinus infection. He could back within as little as a week, but that appears to be mostly just speculation on the part of Mavs owner Mark Cuban. The safest bet would be to simply count on him being back before December. |
|
October 26, 2009 Josh Howard (wrist, ankle) will miss the Mavericks' regular season opener on Tuesday, and could be out for "weeks," according to ESPN. Our View:Howard missed 30 games with injury last season, and he doesn't appear to have gotten any more durable after undergoing surgery on both his wrist and ankle in the offseason. The Mavericks are said to want to get him completely healthy, so if you were hoping for fantasy purposes that they would rush him back, bad break. |
|
October 23, 2009 Josh Howard will miss the final preseason game for the Mavericks on Friday, according to the Dallas Morning News. He has now missed the entire preseason due to his surgically repaired ankle. Our View:Howard has practiced this week, but is still not at 100 percent. He could miss the season opener, but expect him back by the second week of the season, if not earlier. |
|
October 9, 2009 ESPN.com reports that the Mavericks have no idea when Josh Howard will be able to play this season. Our View:Coach Rick Carlisle stated, "Giving a timetable was probably a mistake. We have to play this by ear. I'll probably announce it the day he is going to play -- whether that is in two weeks or a month or a month and a half." Howard missed 30 games last season and his health looks to be a major concern once again after having offseason wrist and ankle surgery. He will slip to the bottom of draft boards because of this recent news. |
|
October 5, 2009 Josh Howard won't play in tonight's preseason game against Orlando, according to the Dallas Morning News. Our View:Howard will be on the shelf for another week or so, but is making steady progress in his recovery from left wrist and ankle surgeries. He should be ready for the regular season opener, barring a setback. |
|
May 22, 2009 The AP reports that Josh Howard underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to his left wrist and left ankle on Thursday. He is expected to begin his rehab this week. Our View:It's not certain what pain killers Howard was prescribed, but we have a pretty good guess about what he would prefer. Howard should be ready by the start of next season, but he could miss out some of the pre-season. |
|
May 15, 2009 Josh Howard will get a second opinion on his injured left ankle next week in New York, according to the Associated Press. Our View:He is still expected to need arthroscopic surgery. He should be able to make a full recovery for next season. |
|
May 9, 2009 Josh Howard had 14 points and seven rebounds in the Mavericks' 106-105 heartbreaking loss at home to the Nuggets on Saturday. Our View:Howard managed to hobble around for almost 29 minutes on two bum ankles, and it's impressive he fared as well as he did. He was just 5-of-15 shooting, but the guy deserves some slack. Pulling down seven boards on two busted wheels is commendable. Howard will likely get a rest soon though as the Mavs are almost assured to get knocked off in the series. |
|
May 9, 2009 Josh Howard expects to play in tonight's Game 3 against the Nuggets, according to the Dallas Morning News. Our View:He is dealing with injuries to both ankles, but intends to play as Dallas trails 2-0 in the series. His left ankle will need surgery after the season. He was limited to only six minutes in Game 2, but chipped in 15 points over 33 minutes in Game 1. |
|
May 6, 2009 Josh Howard is uncertain to play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Nuggets after re-injuring his right ankle in Game 2, according to the Dallas Morning News. Our View:He will continue to ice and treat the ankle, and is hoping it will improve enough for him to play. The Mavs cannot afford to lose him as Denver leads the series 2-0. |
|
May 5, 2009 Josh Howard left Game Two in the first quarter on Tuesday night. He re-injured his ankle and is not expected to return. Our View:Howard was actually playing on two sprained ankles, so no one can blame him for coming out of the game. You gotta give him points for heart though. He was held to zero points, but did record one rebound and two assists in the six-plus minutes he played. |
|
May 4, 2009 Josh Howard missed practice on Monday, according to the Dallas Morning News. Howard sprained his healthy right ankle in Sunday's loss to the Nuggets, but says he will play on Tuesday. Our View:Howard would be sitting this one out if it were a regular season affair. He is in pain, but his importance to the Mavericks success is far too substantial for him to miss any playoff games. He has had a strong playoff run, but he figures to be somewhat limited in Game 2. |
|
April 28, 2009 Josh Howard sat out Monday's practice while nursing his sore ankle, according to the Dallas Morning News. Our View:Howard is expected to play in tonight's Game 5 at San Antonio. Dallas leads the series 3-1, and Howard chipped in 28 points in Saturday's win in Game 4. |
|
April 25, 2009 Josh Howard led the Mavericks with 28 points as they beat the Spurs 99-90 on Saturday. He hit 7-of-14 from the field, including three treys, and 11-of-13 from the free-throw line. Our View:Howard was held to just seven points in Game 2, the Mavs only loss of this series. He has accumulated 70 points in their three victories. If his ankle remains strong, Dallas is poised to make a deep run in the playoffs. |
|
April 23, 2009 Josh Howard had 17 points and eight rebounds in the Mavericks' 88-67 win over the Spurs on Thursday. Dallas now leads 2-1 in the first round series. Our View:Howard was huge in game one, when the Mavs emerged victorious, but was less of a standout in this game. He still outscored everyone on the Spurs, but just wasn't quite as dominant in this low scoring affair. |
|
April 18, 2009 Josh Howard was the best man on the floor for the Mavericks on Saturday as they upset the Spurs 105-97 and took game one of the series. Howard scored 25 points and grabbed four rebounds to go along with three assists. Our View:Howard stepped up on a night when Dirk Nowitzki was less than his best and it paid off for the Mavericks. Stealing a win from the Spurs in San Antonio was huge and could lead to a series win for the Mavs. Howard shot 50 percent from the field, hitting 9-of-18 and from behind the arc, going 2-for-4. |
|
April 15, 2009 As expected, Josh Howard returned to the lineup for the Mavericks on Wednesday. He missed the previous game due to an ankle injury. Our View:Howard has been solid this season while in the starting lineup, but has been racked with injuries. He has only played in 52 total games this season, creating frustration for fantasy owners. |
|
April 14, 2009 Josh Howard sat out Monday's game to rest his sore left ankle, according to the Associated Press. Our View:He missed his 24th game, and will likely need to undergo offseason surgery. It is uncertain if he will play in Wednesday's regular season finale against Houston. |

|
April 13, 2009 Josh Howard will be a game-time call for tonight's outing with Minnesota, according to the Dallas Morning News. Our View:Howard only scored 14 points and six rebounds in his last meeting with the Timberwolves, and will be a risky fantasy option for tonight. |
|
April 12, 2009 Josh Howard scored 15 points in Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Hornets, with four rebounds and one assist. Our View:Howard poured in 25 points and 11 rebounds in his previous match-up with New Orleans, and did not fare as well today. He scored below his season average of 18.1 points per game as well. |
|
April 11, 2009 Josh Howard scored a team-high 25 points in the Mavericks 100-92 win over the Hornets on Friday. He also completed the other half of the double-double and come down with 11 rebounds.

|
April 8, 2009 Josh Howard played through a sore ankle and although he only hit 3-of-11 shots, he was able to accumulate eight rebounds, seven steals, and 13 points. Our View:Howard was able to go for 27 minutes and despite the poor shooting he was a big help to his fantasy owners. He hit 7-of-8 free throws as well and he'll be a good fantasy play for as long as he's able to go. |
|
April 8, 2009 Josh Howard will be a game-time call for tonight's outing with Utah, according to the Dallas Morning News. Our View:Howard is dealing with a painful ankle injury. He scored 18 points in his last meeting with the Jazz, but could be hindered by the ailment is he plays tonight. |
|

|
April 1, 2009 Josh Howard scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the Mavericks 98-96 win on Wednesday. Our View:Howard impressed again in his second game back from injury and he now has 34 points in his last two games. He should continue to see increased playing time down the stretch. |
|
April 1, 2009 Josh Howard returned in Tuesday's win over Minnesota after an 11-game absence due to a sprained ankle. He started the game and contributed 14 points and six rebounds in 22 minutes of action. He was 6-of-12 from the field. Our View:Howard will likely increase his minutes with each passing game, and he should be fine to insert into fantasy lineups. There's a chance he is on your waiver wire and you need to find space for him on your roster if he is. |
|

|
March 7, 2009 Josh Howard sat out with a sprained ankle in Dallas' game against Washington on Saturday, according to the Associated Press. Our View:Howard's decision to sit was probably best for both him and his fantasy owners, as he wasn't helping anyone by continuing to play hurt and providing vastly unpredictable game logs, at times unable to reach 20 minutes on a given night. Hopefully he'll be refreshed when he returns, a date which is unknown at the moment but could come Tuesday against Phoenix. |
|
