December 21, 2006
SEATTLE (AP) -- Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki was helped off the court with 2:05 left in the first quarter on Wednesday night after spraining his left ankle against the Seattle SuperSonics.
X-rays on Nowitzki's ankle were negative and the team said he would be re-evaluated when the Mavericks return to Dallas. The Mavericks host the Clippers on Friday night.
Nowitzki was hurt following a missed free throw by teammate Jerry Stackhouse.
Seattle's Chris Wilcox jumped for the rebound and was bumped by DeSagana Diop of the Mavericks. Wilcox fell to the ground, his legs spreading and his left foot hitting Nowitzki just above his left foot, causing the All-Star's ankle to roll.
Nowitzki was down on the floor for a few minutes before being carried back to the locker room by two teammates.
Nowitzki had six points in the first quarter
