The wait for Dirk Nowitzki’s 21st season to begin is going to have to be a little longer for Dallas Mavericks fans, as reports out today say that the big German is still weeks away from a return, as opposed to days. Dwain Price, writer for Mavs.com reported the news leading up to the game tonight between Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The lack of Dirk on the court has been disappointing this year. Most fans believe that this will be the final season of the likely first ballot Hall of Famer’s career. Although he has not made a decision on future seasons past this one, 21 years is already an unprecedented accomplishment for an NBA player.
