The Dallas Mavericks will share the spotlight with the visiting Golden State Warriors on Wednesday when Dirk Nowitzki¡¯s No. 41 jersey is retired.
Nowitzki retired in 2019 as the Mavericks¡¯ all-time leader in most categories, including points and rebounds. His career point total (31,560) ranks sixth on the NBA all-time list.
Nowitzki played all 21 of his NBA seasons with the Mavericks. The 14-time All-Star also is linked to the Warriors through his relationship with Don Nelson, the legendary Golden State coach who orchestrated Dallas¡¯ draft-night acquisition of the German star from the Milwaukee Bucks in 1998.
