Dennis Smith Jr. pulled a lame stunt, but he gets a pass as Mavs now must showcase him

The Dallas Mavericks are welcoming back Dennis Smith Jr., whose return to the franchise that was once ready to make him a face of the team and now wants to trade him is not forced but is nothing more than a necessity.

DSJ has “recovered” from the “back” problems, and the “sickness,” that kept him out the last six games, including the Mavs’ 116-106 loss to the East-leading Bucks in Milwaukee on Monday.

The Mavs are all about The Luka, who became the second-youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double on Monday. At present, the priority should be DSJ.
