DALLAS — While his emotions were clear following Germany’s 77-76 loss Thursday to Spain in an elimination game during the second round of EuroBasket 2015, Dallas Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki hasn’t completely ruled out a possible return to international competition.
Albeit in a defeat, Nowitzki scored 10 points on 3-of-6 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds as the German national team was eliminated from the tournament with a 1-4 record. However, after being moved to tears as the Berlin crowd sent the 7-footer off the floor with a standing ovation following what was believed to be his last international game, Nowitzki hinted that Thursday’s outing may not have been his final time to play in a German uniform.
