Dirk Nowitzki potential Dallas Mavericks involvement

Overview

Dirk Nowitzki has expressed interest in increasing his involvement with the Dallas Mavericks following leadership changes within the organization. After maintaining distance from the franchise during the tenure of former general manager Nico Harrison, Nowitzki has been in communication with the team’s new leader, Masai Ujiri.

While Nowitzki noted that a new role is not ‘urgent’ because of his existing commitments as a FIBA Players’ Commission chairman and an Amazon Prime Video studio analyst, he indicated a desire to contribute to the club when the timing is appropriate. He remains a lifelong supporter of the team and maintains a friendship with minority owner Mark Cuban.
