As in the first encounter with the Philadelphia 76ers, Dirk Nowitzki will not be available to the Mavs in today’s duel. After an ankle surgery in April, the German experienced a setback last week.
How long Nowitzki will be out of action and whether even the Mavs’ season start on 17 October is in danger is not yet clear. The head coach of the Mavericks, Rick Carlisle, did not make a very positive forecast: “It will not be days, but weeks before he can return to the court.”
