Draft Prep: Injury Update, Dirk

Dirk Nowitzki: Dallas Mavericks, F


Dirk did not play in the Mav's preseason game Tuesday due to soreness in his knees. Sound familiar ? Of course it does, Dirk spent the first two months of the season last year complaining about knee soreness and his production reflected this. Many chalked this up to the fact that he didn't have a real training camp to get himself into playing shape. Dirk certainly turned it around towards the end of the year and for those of you who bought low on him, you were rewarded. Now Dirk is dealing with soreness and swelling of his 34 year old knees, which could possibly plague him the entire season. he has even thrown the idea of a potential knee surgery out there.
  • I would not feel comfortable taking Dirk in the second round, it seems as if his age is finally catching up to him. Let someone else take a risk on Dirk this year, there will be better options waiting for you in round two.
