Dirk Nowitzki is finalizing a one-year, $5 million deal with the Mavericks, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.
Earlier this offseason, Dallas declined Nowitzki's team option to maximize salary cap space for free agents like DeAndre Jordan. According to a 2017 story from Business Insider, Nowitzki has sacrificed around $194 million by taking discounts on contracts for the Mavericks.
During his 20th year in Dallas last season, Nowitzki, played 77 games and averaged 24.7 minutes per game. That number is just a bit down from the 26.
