Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki to play for Germany in EuroBasket tournament
by Ruben Palacios | Staff Writer
Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki will suit up for his native Germany
during the EuroBasket tournament in September, according to the EuroBasket
website.
Germany will host one of the tournament's group stage rounds in Berlin, which
played a role in Nowitzki's role to participate in the tournament.
"I've chosen to be in Berlin," Nowitzki said. "I've had the whole month of
May and used it to gain some distance and enjoy family time. Of course, I
also have consulted the matter with my wife.
"But a EuroBasket in our home country is a huge thing and I look forward to
it, I thought it would be a great way to conclude my national team career."
Nowitzki retired from national play after the 2011 EuroBasket tournament, but
when Germany was awarded the task of hosting Group B in 2015 there was a
distinct possibility he would return.
"If [the EuroBasket tournament] was anywhere else, at the age of 37, it
probably would have been a no-go for me," Nowitzki said. "But when I heard
thatEuroBasket would be played in Berlin, a great basketball city, it was
something I had dreamt about."
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who has a reputation of being opposed to players
competing in FIBA during the offseason, supports the decision of his
franchise player to represent his country during the offseason.
"I think it's great," Cuban said. "Games are being played in Germany. It will
be a chance for his fans there to see him play."
Nowitzki averaged 17.3 points and 5.9 rebounds per game for the Mavericks
this past season.
