Nowitzki Won’t Think Overseas Until Nov.
Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki says he’s decided that the ongoing NBA lockout would have to bleed into November before he considers signing with a team in a foreign league.
After an exhausting summer stint with the German national team at the European Championships that eliminated his country from 2012 Olympic contention earlier than expected, Nowitzki told ESPN.com that he won’t resume basketball workouts until late October at the earliest unless the lockout is lifted sooner.
Nowitzki has long believed that the lockout would end sooner than most doomsday projections and says he’s still clinging to the hope that he can go straight from his forthcoming break to Mavericks training camp.
