Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk Nowitzki will miss at least two more games for Dallas

Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki (Achilles tendon) will miss at least the next two games.

What It Means:

Nowitzki came back for two games but then was out again over the weekend. The Mavericks begin a home stand on Saturday, so it looks like Nowitzki could have a chance to return then. Harrison Barnes will have some extra value until Nowitzki returns.

Nowitzki has played only five games this season, averaging 12.2 points and 6.4 rebounds over a .403 effective field goal percentage.
