Dirk Nowitzki will suit up for the German National Team for the first time since 2011.
Dirk Nowitzki expressed an interest in playing for the German National Team at EuroBasket 2015 in September 2014. It wasn't a definitive statement. He said that he would make his final decision after the 2014-15 NBA season. Now, German fans have something to cheer about as Nowitzki made it official Thursday morning. He will be suiting up for his home country.
The last time Nowitzki played for Germany was in EuroBasket 2011. He had effectively retired from international competition since then.
