D. George working hard

Devean George is with the Mavs on the road trip even though he's still out with that stress reaction injury in his left foot.

George is mostly doing treadmill work, up to 45 minutes at a time. The running is basically to see how the foot reacts to the constant pounding.

On Monday he'll have his final bone scan. If the scan is positive, he'll begin getting back on the court and then from there monitoring progress until he can finally suit up again, which is undetermined, but George seemed to think he's finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
