As Dirk lay on the floor, writhing in pain, the San Antonio Spurs run up the court, shoots the basket, and eventually wins the game, 88-81. According to reports, Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks fell badly late in the third quarter after blocking a shot. As of the moment the only official report coming from them is that he has sustained a “lower left leg injury”. How serious is it? We’ll have to until Monday to know what injury he sustained and how long he’ll be out.
For the Dallas Mavericks we’re hoping that it’s just a sprain and that he’ll be out for a couple of weeks. Their team is on a neck-to-neck race with the Golden State Warriors for the final playoff slot. Another team waiting in the wings is the Denver Nuggets as they are currently on the eight spot for the playoffs.
Let’s see what the reports will tell on Monday.
