Dallas Mavericks forward and seven-time All Star Dirk Nowitzki, who left yesterday's game at the 3:18 mark of the third quarter, was re-evaluated today. An MRI confirmed he suffered a moderate high left ankle sprain and a mild left knee sprain. He is currently walking in a protective boot without crutches.

No timetable is set for his return.

Nowitzki (7-0, 240) has played in 69 games this season and is the Maverick leader in points (23.8 points a game) and rebounds (8.8 rebounds a game). He also is averaging a career-high 3.6 assists.
