When asked specifics about his relationship with 37-year-old Cristal Taylor, who was arrested on a probation violation and theft of services warrants Wednesday, Dirk Nowitzki declined comment.

"It's pretty obvious that I'm going through a tough time in my personal life right now, but like I always have, I want to kind of keep my private life private," Nowitzki said. "I'm not at the stage where I can talk about it yet and feel comfortable talking about it. ... At this point, I just can't talk about it."
