Dirk Nowitzki

Nowitzki's first assisting Mavericks owner Mark Cuban in his search for a new head of basketball operations and then coach, according to New York Times reporter Marc Stein, who broke the news. "Mark approached me and asked me to help out and of course I said yes," said Nowitzki. "Any way I can help my Mavs, I'm in."

Nowitzki supplied his only double-double of the season in this his final NBA game. While he posted career lows in most statistical categories here in 2018-19, Nowitzki did deliver two throwback performances to finish off his Hall-of-Fame career.

Nowitzki posted a season high scoring total in this the final home game of his historic career. It may be tough for the 40-year-old legend to fire up this many shots on the second night of a back-to-back. Nevertheless, he's set to take the court one final time during Wednesday's finale versus the Spurs.

Nowitzki was held out of Sunday's matchup against Memphis, although he didn't sustain any type of injury. He figures to draw the start in what figures to be the last game in Dallas in his career.
