Dirk Nowitzki still has work to do on stamina
Dirk Nowitzki - F - Dallas Mavericks

Dirk Nowitzki admitted that his stamina is not where it needs to be after returning from knee surgery.

"Today was definitely better," he said after Tuesday's win against the Wizards. However, he said he was "gassed" after just "three or four minutes out there." We expect Nowitzki to eventually get his conditioning in order, but it's not going to happen overnight, and his owners have to realize it will be a process.
