Then he needs to shut it down and get fully healthy if he can't go harder.
Or get position and get the ball and create offense. Draw the double and kick it. He hasn't been aggressive with the ball at all since coming back. Settles for the J much more than I'd like regardless that I think he is the best shooter in the game.
Dirk has to be a leader now and his style is leading by example, but he isn't taking it to the defense and he isn't playing with fire. It's clear that he knows this team doesn't have it. Theory: Maybe he knows he only has a cpl seasons left where he can leave it all out every night and he doesn't wanna waste it with what we have.
