6 years agoDallas Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) is weeks away from returning to the court, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. There was some hope that Nowitzki could return in a few days, but that is not the case. He continues to deal with left foot soreness, but has been durable throughout his career. Only once over the last five seasons has Nowitzki failed to play in at least 75 games, according to Bleacher Report. There is a chance that Nowitzki is ready by the season opener.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
