Dirk Nowitzki calls workplace misconduct allegations against Mavericks 'heartbreaking'

LOS ANGELES -- In the wake of a Sports Illustrated investigation that detailed a culture of misogyny and predatory behavior in the Dallas Mavericks organization, the team's longtime star Dirk Nowitzki responded Wednesday, calling the allegations "truly, truly disgusting."

"It's tough," Nowitzki said after the team practiced at USC in advance of their Friday game against the Lakers. "It's very disappointing. It's heartbreaking. I'm glad it's all coming out. I was disgusted when I read the article, obviously, as everybody was. I was shocked about some of the stuff."
