The Dallas Mavericks have reached out to the Golden State Warriors regarding a Kristaps Porzingis trade, per Ian Begley of SNY.

The Mavericks contacted the Warriors in order to gauge interest for a trade concerning Porzingis, Begley reports.

Porzingis, who is under a five-year, $158M contract with Dallas, has faced several ups and downs this season.

The Latvian power forward/center missed the first nine games of the season with knee injury and has been struggling to return to form since then.
