Amid the swirling controversy surrounding the Luka Doncic trade, the Dallas Mavericks have quietly managed to stay competitive, despite dealing with a series of injuries.
Heading into the All-Star break, the team has won four of their last five games, showcasing resilience in the face of adversity. Their most recent victory came against the Miami Heat, a hard-fought five-point win in their latest outing.
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd acknowledged the importance of winning during this challenging stretch. He noted that the team’s determination to push through their injuries has helped them overcome physical setbacks.
“The bumps and bruises go away faster,” Kidd remarked, as quoted by Grant Afseth of the Dallas Hoops Journal.
“As I told the guys, get some rest, enjoy the break, be safe and when we come back, it’s time to push forward and find a way to get as high a seed as we can and win as many games as we can. Sometimes, you want the break. We do need the break, but we are starting to play pretty good basketball.”
