Dallas Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki spotted in the virtual crowd for NBA Finals Game 1
The Dallas Mavericks did not qualify for the NBA Finals this year, but they will be watching closely. The goal is to be back soon, and Luka Doncic’s superstar breakout this season makes it seem realistic. The 21-year-old averaged 31.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game in his first NBA playoff series. Do count Doncic out as he has won at every stop in his basketball career.
The Mavs have never been to the NBA Finals without Dirk Nowitzki on their roster.
