Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) not traveling with Mavericks on road trip
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) is not traveling with the team on their three-game road trip.
What It Means:
That rules out Nowitzki for Wednesday against the Orlando Magic and may mean he won't play until the Mavericks' season finale next Tuesday at home versus the Phoenix Suns. Harrison Barnes (rest), Dwight Powell (knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) have also been ruled out for Wednesday and Salah Mejri (knee) is questionable.
Dirk is averaging 23.9 FanDuel points per game this season, with 12.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.8 3-pointers per contest.
