He's not gonna miss that last home game, and closing out his career in SA just makes sense, given his history against that franchise (plus it's close enough for fans to make the trek down I-35 to support him).

Based on that he probably wouldn`t make it (chances are he`ll miss a couple of more games), but if Mavs are out of the playoffs by that time, he`ll probably play a lot of minutes and go for it in the last few games. Nobody would stop him from shooting 30 times and scoring 30 in the last home game. So barring injury or a playoff run, I think he will make it.
