SURREY, B.C. -- B.C. Lions quarterback Travis Lulay will miss two starts due to a shoulder injury. The CFL club made the announcement Tuesday, two days after Lulay was injured while running for a touchdown in a 36-14 home win over the Montreal Alouettes. "Were disappointed but we know hell be back," Lions head coach Mike Benevides said. The Lions said that Lulay, the CFLs 2011 outstanding player, will be re-evaluated following B.C.s game in Winnipeg on Sept. 27. "Im not helping the team if I cant play so I want to bet back as soon as possible," Lulay said. "I dont regret trying to score on the play, its just an unfortunate result." The six-foot-two, 217-pound Lulay completed a 14-yard TD run by lowering his right shoulder near the goal-line and going through Montreal defensive back Geoff Tisdale. Lulay hurt the same shoulder late last season while throwing a pass against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and missed the final five games of the regular season. And in 2007, he required surgery on his right shoulder to repair a torn labrum he suffered while playing for the Berlin Thunder of now-defunct NFL Europe. Benevides wouldnt say whether sophomore Thomas DeMarco or veteran Buck Pierce will start when B.C. (7-4) visits the Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-3) on Sunday. Benevides is expected to name his starter Wednesday, however. "Were both going to prepare to play this week," DeMarco said of he and Pierce. "Were just going to see where the reps go." The five-foot-11 200-pound DeMarco came on to replace the injured Lulay against Montreal and finished 4-of-6 passing for 47 yards and a 14-yard TD strike to Marco Iannuzzi for his first CFL career touchdown pass. The 24-year-old Californian, who played his college football at Old Dominion, also ran three times for 13 yards. DeMarco has completed 15-of-24 passes for 148 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in his brief CFL tenure. Pierce, 31, is in his second stint with B.C. He began his Canadian professional career with the Lions in 05 and spent five seasons with the club -- earning a Grey Cup ring in 2006 -- before being released March 9, 2010. Pierce signed with Winnipeg about a month later. Pierce battled injuries throughout his time in Manitoba but his best season with the Blue Bombers was 2011 when he appeared in 16 regular-season games and led the squad to the Grey Cup. But the 2011 campaign ended miserably for Pierce and the Bombers, who lost a 34-23 decision to the Lions at B.C. Place. Lulay was named the Grey Cup MVP after completing 21-of-37 passes for 320 yards and two second-half TDs. The six-foot-two, 195-pound Pierce finished 19-of-37 passing for 250 yards for Winnipeg in the Grey Cup game with two touchdowns and an interception. He also added 17 yards on four carries. Pierce, who played collegiately at New Mexico State, is in his ninth CFL season. He has appeared in 114 career games, passing for 15,059 yards and 73 touchdowns with 62 interceptions. He has also rushed for 1,666 yards on 229 carries (7.3-yard average) and scored 13 TDs. The Lions re-acquired Pierce from Winnipeg on Sept. 8 for receiver Akeem Foster. Lulay, 29, in his fifth CFL season, is the leagues second-leading passer with 2,787 yards. The former Montana State star has thrown 19 TDs with 11 interceptions and added 286 yards rushing, averaging 7.2 yards per attempt, with two touchdowns. The Lions also re-signed QB Joey Elliott, another former Blue Bomber, on Wednesday to help fill the void while Lulay is injured.

That disappointment, plus a little help from an old friend, turned into another big performance by the veteran forward. Nowitzki scored seven of his 32 points in overtime, leading the Mavericks to a 128-119 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. Nowitzki also had 10 rebounds and six assists. In Dallas loss to Brooklyn on Sunday, he was 2 for 12 from the field in his worst shooting performance of the season. "The last game was disappointing for me," Nowitzki said. "I was just hesitating too much, so I had to go back to having fun out there and just being me. "That was a heck of a game, and it was fun to be a part of." The 7-foot Nowitzki was 11 for 23 from the field and 8 for 8 at the line. "His emotion and his attitude carried the team," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "Hes a prideful guy. I think great players are great for a reason. They never let anything keep them down for long. Hes bounced back from every adversity hes ever had in his career, so this is no surprise." Kevin Durant led Oklahoma City with 43 points. He has scored at least 25 in 36 consecutive games in the longest such streak since Michael Jordans 40-game run during the 1986-87 season. Dallas had seven players score in double figures. Jose Calderon went 6 for 8 from 3-point range and finished with 22 points. Nowitzki said he spent time on Tuesday with Holger Geschwinder, his longtime basketball mentor from his home country of Germany. He said they got in a little shooting work. "I guess he was tired of watching my shooting percentage," Nowitzki said. "Its always good when hes there." Russell Westbrook scored 23 for Oklahoma City. All of his points came in regulation, when he played 31:50. He added another minute in overtime. Westbrook is limited to 30 to 32 minutes per game because of his oft-injured right knee. Oklahoma City was coming off a 117-96 victory over Denver on Monday night. The Thunder had won four in a row. "Im proud of our guys effort and energy, coming back from back-to-back games," coach Scott Brooks said. "I cant complain about anything we did tonight.&" "We didnt make the big play," said Durant, who has scored 40 points or more 13 times this season.dddddddddddd"They made shots in overtime. You have to give them credit." The Mavericks scored the first five points of the extra period on two free throws by Nowitzki and a 3-pointer by Calderon. They never trailed again. The victory pushed Dallas into eighth place in the Western Conference, a half-game ahead of idle Phoenix. The Mavericks improved to 3-2 on a franchise-long, eight-game homestand, with three of the games going to overtime. They began the homestand in seventh place, 1 1/2 ahead of the ninth-place Suns. Calderon returned to the starting lineup after being knocked out of Sunday nights game in the first minute. He was whacked in the face by Brooklyns Mason Plumlee, chipping a facial bone between his nose and mouth. Calderon said the injury only hurts when he talks or laughs. "And I dont have to laugh during games," he said. Another of Calderons 3s came with 26.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter and sent the game into overtime. "It felt good from the beginning," he said, "but you dont know until that ball goes through the rim." Dallas won 109-86 at Oklahoma City on March 16 in the Thunders worst loss of the season. Westbrook missed that game because the team wants to limit the activity for his surgically repaired knee, choosing to rest him in one part of back-to-back games. Westbrook was the catalyst of Oklahoma Citys second-quarter rally after the Thunder fell behind by 10. He scored 10 points in the period, including a foul shot that gave Oklahoma City a 57-48 lead with 1:25 to go. But the Mavericks answered with three consecutive 3-pointers - one from Calderon and two from Vince Carter - to tie it with 33.4 left in the half. Durant then hit a 3 to give Oklahoma City a 60-59 lead at the break. The Thunder hit 14 of 18 shots in the period and shot 57.1 per cent for the half. NOTES: Thunder centre Kendrick Perkins, sidelined since Feb. 20 with a groin strain, is hoping to return at Houston on April 4. ... If Dallas finishes among the leagues top-10 teams, Oklahoma City will get the Mavericks first-round draft choice next summer as a result of a series of trades. ' ' '
