--G Josh Howard went through a more strenuous workout Monday at practice, testing his left ankle. He reported progress but isn't ready to return to the active roster. "It's still pretty sore," he said.

--F Shawn Marion almost returned to the lineup against Golden State, but his sore left ankle just wasn't ready. "It's still tender," Marion said. "I tried to get through as much as I could. I can't push off the way I want to. We want to get it back as close to 100 percent as we can."

--G Jason Terry is now in the burger business, unveiling Jason Terry Legendary Burger exclusively for the Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas on Monday. A portion of proceeds from the sale of Terry's burger will benefit local charity Gilda's Club North Texas. "It's excellent," Terry said. "I ate it for breakfast. It's 10 ounces of Angus beef with lots of stuff on it and three cheeses."
