A new German in Dallas: Timo Pitter met Dirk Nowitzki Today

Timo and Dirk


Newly signed SuperDraft pick Timo Pitter met Dallas Mavericks star and fellow German Dirk Nowitzki after the Mavs' practice today. Born in Oberschwarzach, Germany, Timo grew up in a city just a few miles away from Würzburg, West Germany, where the Mavs superstar was raised.

The midfielder/forward impressed early and often this preseason by scoring six goals for FC Dallas, which earned him a contract with FCD for the 2016 MLS season. Pitter joined the team when the club traded up in the second round of the 2016 MLS SuperDraft to select him.
