6 years agoDallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) said he's measuring his return in weeks, not days. That's not an encouraging sign from the 40-year-old veteran. Harrison Barnes and DeAndre Jordan are going to remain in the starting five for the foreseeable future. Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber will likely lose some playing time once Nowitzki returns. However, at this point in his career Nowitzki can be left on the waiver wire in just about every league. He's not going to be a starter once he returns.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
