DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Mavericks finalized an agreement with Dirk Nowitzki on Thursday night, the team announced.

Terms of the deal weren't released, but Tim MacMahon of ESPN reported that it's a two-year agreement worth $10 million.

The second year of the deal is a club option, according to MacMahon's sources.

This coming season will be Dirk's 20th in the NBA, making him and Kobe Bryant the only two players to have played at least 20 seasons with the one franchise.

Nowitzki, a 13-time all-star, is sixth all-time on the NBA's scoring list and is only 1,159 points behind Wilt Chamberlain for fifth on the list.

The just turned 39-year-old averaged 14.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per games in 2016.
