NBA, Dirk Nowitzki: Dallas Mavericks lay down the date for retirement

For many years for many years, the Dallas Mavericks would pull the jersey of Dirk Nowitzki under the hall ceiling shortly after the end of his career. Now, according to Marc Stein there is a date.

As the insider at Twitter reported, the ceremony will take place on January 5: The Mavericks received the Golden State Warriors on this day and will use the occasion to draw Nowitzkis jersey with the number 41 under the Hall cover in the American Airlines Center.

The Würzburg spent 21 years at the Mass until 2019 and keeps a large part of the important records in the franchise, and Nowitzki also led the Mass in the 2011 season to their so far single championship of franchise history.

MAVs owner Mark Cuban had already announced to the end of Nowitzkis career that there will be at least one statue for Nowitzki. Before the start of the current season, Cuban said that Nowitzki had already set up a first draft. So there will be more honors.
