Wednesday was the first step in the restart of the 2019-20 season for the Dallas Mavericks after the NBA shut down on March 11 for the coronavirus.
With the league set to play eight regular season games and the entire playoffs under the bubble in Orlando starting July 30, there’s still many unanswered questions that the league may face down the road. However, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle looks at the glass as half-full and sees the restart of the season as an opportunity for his team to go deep into the playoffs.
“You can look at all the variables, all the procedural things, all the detail aspects of it, and look at it as a very daunting type of thing,” Carlisle said during a Wednesday conference call with over 40 members of the media.
