Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall recently spoke with Mark Medina of Sportskeeda, where he openly acknowledged the difficult few weeks the team has experienced.

The Mavericks have been facing a combination of challenges, including the fallout from the trade involving Luka Doncic, as well as a series of injuries that have severely impacted the team’s frontcourt depth.

These circumstances have put additional strain on the team’s performance and overall dynamics.

“I think we’re all still locked in,” Marshall said. “Everyone is still focused and not letting the outside noise derail the goals that we made up at the beginning of the season.

“And it’s still very possible to accomplish those. So I think that we’re in a great spot. … Stay tuned. It’s a long season. We are not done yet. Stay tuned.”

Marshall has played 5 seasons for the Pelicans and Mavericks. He has averaged 8.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 276 regular-season games.
