Mark Cuban says chance of Dirk Nowitzki playing past 2018-19 is 'under 50 percent.' What could make him stay?

The news that Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki may not play beyond the upcoming NBA season probably won't surprise many.

His pending exit has been a topic of discussion for some time now. The Dirk era in Dallas has spanned two decades, but when will it end?

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban gave an update on Nowitzki's decision during a recent interview on SiriusXM's NBA Radio.

While talking with Justin Termine and Brendan Haywood, Cuban said the likelihood of Nowitzki playing beyond the 2018-19 season is "under 50 percent," but that Dirk could also decide to stick around longer.
