It's official. Dirk Nowitzki's career is coming to an end.
After hinting at retirement but never explicitly saying, Nowitzki announced Wednesday's game in San Antonio will be his last.
While his time on the court may be over soon, it looks like he's going to remain with the Mavs going forward.
"Teammates know Nowitzki wants to remain around the Mavericks upon retirement, and the franchise has been planning a 'unique role' for him," tweets The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The Mavericks went on to beat the Phoenix Suns 120-109 in Dirk's final home game. He finished with 30 points in 32:42 of floor time.
