Jett Howard questionable for Mavericks vs. Rockets with right calf issue
Jett Howard is day-to-day with a right calf injury and listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets. The 6-8 guard, now in his third season, came to Dallas after spending last season with Orlando. He had just been cleared from a separate day-to-day listing on October 20 before the calf showed up on the report.

Howard's status has flipped twice in a week. He was listed day-to-day with an illness on October 14, cleared on October 20, then went right back on the report on October 21 with a right calf issue. The estimated return date is October 21, which is why he is questionable rather than out for Wednesday against Houston. The Mavericks have not ruled him out, and the calf is the only injury on his record this season. Until he is cleared, his minutes off the bench are the open question.
