Nowitzki has swelling in knee, out at least 1 game

DALLAS -- Mavericks star forward Dirk Nowitzki will miss at least one game due to swelling in his right knee.

Coach Rick Carlisle told reporters after Wednesday's shootaround that Nowitzki would not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to an ailment the team is officially listing as right knee effusion.

Carlisle said the team isn't certain about the cause of the injury or whether the 37-year-old Nowitzki would be sidelined multiple games.
