Former Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki is rejoining the organization as a special advisor, according to The New York Times' Marc Stein.
Nowitzki, who turns 43 on Saturday, will be helping owner Mark Cuban in the search for a new team president and new head coach in the wake of Donnie Nelson and Rick Carlisle leaving the team this past week. The job is still not an everyday role with the team, per the Times.
"Mark approached me and asked me to help out and of course I said yes," Nowitzki told the Times.
