Dirk Nowitzki’s No. 14 German jersey to be retired

The FIBA Eurobasket 2022 will offer Luka Donu010diu0107 and a few other Mavericks a chance to take the international stage to represent their various countries.

It also will be a chance to celebrate the greatest Maverick of them all.

With the tournament taking place in Dirk Nowitzki’s home country, the German basketball federation (DBB) will use the opening day of the event to retire his No. 14 national team jersey.

The German federation announced the plans in a news release early Tuesday. The ceremony will happen before the Germany-France game on Sept. 1 in Cologne on the opening day of the Eurobasket event.
