DALLAS (AP) -Dirk Nowitzki ended up flying to New York instead of Dallas on his first day as a free agent, but the Mavericks are confident it wasn’t to meet with other teams.
In fact, he was getting together with Mavs point guard Jason Kidd during his side trip.
Mavericks president Donnie Nelson said Nowitzki is still expected in Dallas any day for a “heart-to-heart” conversation that could lead to a new four-year contract.
Nelson said Nowitzki’s detour on his way back from Germany was done partly to make it easier for him to slip into town with less notice after the former MVP heard of plans for about 5,000 fans to meet him at the airport.
Nonetheless, the team has launched a “DFW Digs Dirk” campaign complete with a website and a song.
