Earlier today, Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki has his knee drained for the second time this month. Nowitzki was able to practice today but if the swelling in his right knee continues, he will have no other choice but to undergo surgery. Nowitzki addressed the situation after today's practice.
"I really don't know why the swelling keeps coming back....I can't really finger-point it. Maybe there's something floating in there that shouldn't be floating in there. We'll only know that for sure if we do a scope, but as for now, we haven't. I'm just going to keep working this weekend and see how the knee responds.....Probably the sooner, the better if we decide [surgery]....I don't want to wait until October 30th and then have a scope. That's pretty obvious....I've never liked missing games in my career. I've always liked to be there for the boys. If that's something we need to look at, if the swelling comes back next week, we've got a decision to make."
