Dirk Nowitzki ready to return for his 21st NBA season

Dirk Nowitzki has recovered from his ankle injury and is ready to make his season debut against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday (13/12).

Per ESPN: “Dirk Nowitzki is finally ready to begin his record-breaking 21st season with the Mavericks. 

The sources said Nowitzki plans to make his season debut in Thursday’s road game against the Phoenix Suns, after a longer-than-anticipated recovery from spring surgery on his left ankle.”

Nowitzki is now entering his 21st NBA season and will set a new NBA record. The German legend and Kobe Bryant are the only players in league history to play at least 20 years for only one franchise.
