After missing the first 25 games of the season Dirk Nowitzki is finally ready to play his first game this season, per a report from ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.
When he checks in for the first time against the Phoenix Suns, Nowitzki will officially set the record with 21 seasons on a single team.
Around the end of last season Nowitzki had surgery to remove bone spurs in his foot so that he could be ready for the beginning of this season. The recovery went well and he looked on track to be ready for the middle of October.
