jet on wearing a mask:
Although his conditioning felt good during Friday's practice, Terry admitted that he struggled to see while wearing a protective mask.
He planned to pick up a custom mask later in the day. He hopes to use the mask only during practices and the first couple of games after his return.
"This mask they had me wearing was like a hockey mask," Terry said. "It was terrible."
Terry, the NBA's reigning Sixth Man of the Year who is averaging 17.0 points per game, went through full contact Friday despite still lacking feeling on the left side of his face. His vision made shooting difficult.
"Oh, man, he better get used to that mask quick because that was ugly whatever he put out there," Dirk Nowitzki said, cracking a smile. "But he's a warrior. I knew he was going to come back quick."
