Dirk Nowitzki is probably coming back next season.
In an interview with Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News, the face of the Mavericks’ franchise said “I’m not going to say 100 percent I’ll be back -- but it’s looking like it.”
Nowitzki added that as long as there weren’t physical setbacks, he would like to play out the two-year, $10 million contract he signed this past summer. In doing so, he would finish what would be a 21-year career playing exclusively for the team that drafted him.
This season, he’s played in all 28 games, and has averaged 11 points, 5.
