Mavs’ Nowitzki out three to six weeks

Found October 19, 2012 on Sports Report 360:
PLAYERS: Dirk Nowitzki
TEAMS: Dallas Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Friday, the first operation of his 14-year NBA career. Nowitzki, 34, said earlier this week that doctors told him the typical timetable to return from such an operation is three to six weeks, which means it’s almost certain that he will miss the beginning of the regular season. With this, also, being Nowitzki first major surgery it is very unsure how he’ll respond. Mavs fan will have to wait and see.
