Dirk Nowitzki Out 2 Weeks With “Lower Left Leg Injury”
March 23rd, 2008 | by HG |
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will have to throw more money at the problem next year because the team’s fading 2008 championship hopes went down with Dirk Nowitzki on Sunday. Dirk is expected to miss two weeks with what is being called a lower left leg injury.. In layman’s terms that means season killing injury.
Don’t get it twisted. The Mavs weren’t gonna sniff the title this year but they were gonna make the playoffs. They’re currently in the seventh spot in the Western Conference with Golden St. a game back and the Nuggets trailing by two. If the Denver Nuggets have any balls, two weeks without Dirk Nowitzki is the final nail in the Maverick’s playoff coffin. Knowing the Nuggs like we do, they’ll make it interesting.
It could be for any number of reasons, but it seems the basketball gods aren’t happy with Mark Cuban. They waited until Steve Nash left Dallas to let him turn into the player he is today. They took a 2-0 finals lead from Cuban and the Mavs two years ago. Last year the gods let his 67 win, number one seed team lose to the eight seed in the first round of the playoffs, and this year they take Dirk Nowitzki from him during the stretch run of the season. If Cuban knows what’s good for him he’ll get John Henry, Tom Werner, and Larry Lucchino on the phone immediately and ask them how they reversed their fortunes.
There is one positive to take from Dirk’s injury… Now he has more time to check out the cheerleaders.
