Mavericks will be without Nowitzki vs. Knicks
Nowitzki將不會在對上尼克時歸隊
Dirk Nowitzki welcomed his third child into the world on Friday, now the
Dallas Mavericks are eager to welcome their star forward back onto the court.
Dirk Nowitzki上周五迎來了第三個孩子的誕生，而達拉斯小牛則是
渴望迎接Dirk的歸隊。
Nowitzki has been out of action with a strained right Achilles tendon since
November 4th against the Portland Trail Blazers. He initially hurt his
Achilles in the Mavericks' season opener on Oct. 26 against the Indiana
Pacers.
Dirk在11月4日對上波特蘭拓荒者的比賽中，就因為阿基里斯腱傷勢
缺陣至今，他是在開幕戰對上印第安納溜馬時受的傷。
Dallas (2-6) could certainly use his scoring capability when it meets the New
York Knicks (3-6) on Monday at Madison Square Garden. The Mavericks, who have
been off since a 116-95 loss to the Golden State Warriors last Wednesday, are
averaging 97.1 points, ranking them 26th in the league.
小牛會很希望Dirk能歸隊來幫助球隊的火力，本季他們平均只能攻下
97.1分，聯盟第26。2勝6敗的小牛明天將碰上3勝6敗的紐約尼克，這
是小牛在休息四天後首度出賽，前一戰他們以95-116敗給金州勇士，
Dallas won five straight games against the Knicks and is 27-11 against New
York over the last 20 seasons.
小牛目前對上尼克拿下五連勝，最近20個球季，對戰尼克拿下27勝11
敗的成績。
Nowitzki, 38, is the active leader in points scored (29,527) and minutes
played (47,332). His wife Jessica gave birth to their son Morris.
38歲的Dirk是NBA現役得分(29527分)與上場時間(47332分鐘)排行第
一的球員。他的太太Jessica上週生下了兒子Morris。
Nowitzki practiced over the weekend and is hopeful to join the Mavericks when
they play four of their next five games on the road.
小牛在之後的五場比賽當中有四場客場，Dirk希望能儘快歸隊，他
在周末已經參與球隊的練習。
"We don't want to rush anything and go back to where we were last week,"
Nowitzki told the Dallas Morning News. "So if I feel anything this weekend,
they're going to ease off again.
Dirk在達拉斯晨報的訪問說到："我們不希望太過著急，所以如果我
有任何不適，就會推遲歸隊的時間。"
"Obviously, I want to play in the (Madison Square) Garden on Monday (against
the Knicks) and I want to play in Boston (on Wednesday)
