The tributes continue for Dirk Nowitzki in Dallas.

Designer Skyler in Dallas has revealed that the Mavericks will be replacing the secondary logos on their court with a silhouette of Nowitzki for the 2019-20 NBA season.

Nowitzki retired from the NBA in April after 21 seasons, all of which were spent with the Mavs.

In June, the city of Dallas voted to rename a portion of one of the streets near American Airlines Center as Nowitzki Way. Mavs owner Mark Cuban has also promised to build the "biggest, most badass statue ever" of Nowitzki.
