ARLINGTON, Texas – Once the World Series is over, Dirk Nowitzki will start planning a trip back to Germany unless there’s progress toward starting the NBA season.
The NBA finals MVP said Saturday that he wants to resume training with his personal coach if it seems unlikely he will be playing for the Dallas Mavericks any time soon.
“It’s time to really get back in the routine,” Nowitzki said after throwing out the first pitch for Game 3 of the World Series. “Got to keep the options open, maybe see what’s going on overseas.”
Nowitzki has become a baseball fan over his 13 years in the United States. Because the Texas Rangers are his local team, he roots for them, and even has a blue jersey customized with his name and number. He threw out the first pitch at a game this summer after leading the Mavs to their first title and attended Game 6 of the AL championship series. He wasn’t able to make it to a World Series game when the Rangers made it last year, so he was eager to attend — and take part — on Saturday night.
“I’m really proud of obviously representing the (Dallas-Fort Worth) Metroplex,” he said.
