After offseason surgery, Chandler Parsons preps for larger role in ’15-16

DALLAS — While his 2014-15 campaign didn’t end the way he had hoped, Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons says there were things he can build on following his first season with the team.

Signing a lucrative contract with the Mavericks during free agency last summer, Parsons hoped to accept a larger role in Dallas after spending his first three seasons in Houston. However, after getting off to a slow start, Parsons would take time to find his niche with the Mavs before coming on strong to close the 82-game schedule.

The 6-foot-9 forward also found himself battling nagging ankle and foot injuries, playing in 66 games while emerging as the Mavericks’ third-leading scorer.
