Speaking with reporters today, Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said that Dirk Nowitzki is weeks away from a return.
Dirk has not done any significant court work and could be given an update in 10 days or so. Rick Carlisle says it will be at least 2 weeks before he’s ready to play.
Barnes is improving and Rick said he might be able to give us an update on Monday.— Brice Paterik (@80GradeWhitt) October 12, 2018When we pair this news with the previous reporting on October 3rd, it’s a reasonable assumption to make that Dirk Nowitzki will not see the court this month.
