That sucks
Wow, that blows.... knee injuries are the worst tbh...
He should pour a $1800 jar of moisturizer on it...
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/maver...ave-knee-scopeArthroscopic surgery is a possibility for Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki if his sore and swollen right knee doesn't respond to a week of rest and treatment.
Nowitzki, who sat out Tuesday's loss to FC Barcelona Regal in Spain, is experiencing soreness and swelling in his knee for the second consecutive training camp. It bothered him several weeks into the season last year, something he wants to avoid happening again.
"We'll see how it responds," Nowitzki said, according to The Dallas Morning News. "But the longer we wait, obviously the worse it is. If we have to do something, it'd be better to do it quick.
"But we're still hopeful that this is a temporary thing. If we relax and rest it for a week and see how it goes, then we'll have a better idea."
If Nowitzki does have to undergo arthroscopic surgery next week, he might be able to return in time to play in the Mavericks' Oct. 30 season opener against the Lakers in Los Angeles.
Nowitzki, 34, said the pain and stiffness in the knee is similar to what he felt during last year's training camp.
We eeeeeeeeeedddd
dirk is tanking so that we can get stacked in the lottery and free agency for his last run
Dirk is the last Mav any Mavs fan should be worried about. Non issue
Ahahahahahashahaa
you guys think dirk is the ironman or what? dude's been hampered by his knee for quite a while now and i'd rather see him have a good rest and come back 100% fit rather than continue to play below his normal level with the injury tbh. what's funny is a rox fan starts a thread gloating about the injury of another team's player, having forgotten the 7'6 head that collected 34 million w/o doing one damn thing good for his team in 2 years of time
i doubt the mavs are going to get anywhere with or without dirk.. but i gotta respect dirk as a player, hopefully he can figure it out and still play at a high level.. guys a baller, that franchise is done if dirk is.
Has one superstar ever carried an entire franchise on their square shoulders as much as Dirk has?
As much as I think Cubes and the Jet are smug twits, I like Dirk.
LeBron in Cleveland
^ for seven years,then bolted and chose the easy way.Dirk kept his head down and willed the team to it's first le ever.
LeBron would have been an idiot not to bolt with the way that team had been run into the ground ever since losing Boozer. It's true Nowitzki took a relatively weak supporting cast to a le, but it's not like his cast was complete like LeBron's were. You can't even compare Tyson Chandler, Jason Terry, and Jason Kidd to Ilgauskas (after tons of surgeries), Boobie Gibson, and Sasha Pavlovic. James played for a horrible owner and organisation, while Cuban has done a lot of great things for a Mavericks franchise that basically was the Cavs when he got there. Those 2006-2010 Cavs teams were the definition of one man carrying everyone on his back, and I'm still blown away he took one of them to the Finals with Big Z as his #2 and another to 66 wins with scrub Mo Williams as his #2.
It's reserved for the Rockets
Bron did NOT choose the easy way tbh.... he carried the Heat on his back last year....
Yes he did,but when he chose Miami over Cleveland,it was the easy way..He didn't know Wade would become a TOSB at 31.
How come he doesn't go back to der Deutchland and get that knee regeneration thing that Kobe and Bynum got? With mixed results to say the least...
https://twitter.com/EKS_MavsNBARick Carlisle says Dirk Nowitzki (right knee effusion) was a full participant in today's practice.
He should go ahead and get the surgery and miss a few games in November and December if need be.
