Returns to Dallas

Morris spent the 2023-24 campaign with Dallas, appearing in 26 games (one start) and averaging 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds across 8.3 minutes. With Naji Marshall replacing Derrick Jones and the rest of the Mavs frontcourt sticking around, Morris will likely be a fringe rotation piece in 2024-25.

On track for training camp

Several Mavericks are practicing together in Los Angeles this week, including new addition Klay Thompson. Irving is with the group, but he's not participating in any scrimmages yet while working his way back from offseason hand surgery. Dallas made a surprise run to the NBA Finals last year but fizzled out and looked overmatched against Boston. A healthy Irving will be key if the Mavericks hope to replicate their success in 2024-25, so don't be surprised if he's limited to begin preseason work as a precaution. Irving averaged 25.6 points, 5.2 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 35.0 minutes across 58 appearances during his first full season with Dallas last year.

Scores nine in victory

Powell was held to single-digit points once again during Friday's matchup, but he recorded multiple steals for a second consecutive game. It wouldn't be surprising to see him maintain a starting role during the knockout round, but he's been a somewhat inconsistent contributor to begin the Olympics.
