Dirk Nowitzki was 'disgusted' by Sports Illustrated report on Mavericks' workplace

Dirk Nowitzki told Eddie Sefko of Sports Day that he was "disgusted" by the recent Sports Illustrated story detailing a history of sexual misconduct and harassment within the Mavericks organization.

"It's very disappointing," Nowitzki told Sefko. "It's heartbreaking. I'm glad it's all coming out. I was disgusted when I read the article, obviously, as everybody was. I was shocked ... that our franchise, my franchise, that stuff like that was going on."

In the SI story by Jon Wertheim and Jessica Luther, a pattern of highly inappropriate sexual conduct around the Mavericks' workplace was investigated, along with how the team reporter remained employed after pleading guilty to a domestic violence incident.
