Berlin (AFP) - NBA star Dirk Nowitzki is set to play his first international basketball match in four years for Germany on Friday against Croatia, the Dallas Mavericks' power forward has confirmed.

"I assume that I'll play. I feel good, especially as it's something different here, running on the treadmill or running around with the team," he said ahead of the Zagreb friendly after a training camp on Mallorca with the national team.
