Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki put in a full practiced today after getting his swollen right knee drained.
Though he seemed more optimistic about the knee than he did during last week’s trip to Germany and Spain, he didn’t rule out the possibility that he’ll have to have arthroscopic surgery.
“We’ll see how it responds over the weekend,” Nowitzki said. “I’ll be all right, hopefully.”
“Hopefully” is probably not the prognosis Mavericks fans want to hear about the status of Dallas’ 15th-year, perennial All-Star. Nowitzki didn’t specify which day he had the knee drained, but said it’s the second time he’s had it drained in recent weeks. He said he also had it drained “a couple of times” last season.
