PLANO – A first-of-its-kind happened for the Mavericks on Friday afternoon.
Of the hundreds of junior camps and clinics that the team has organized through the years, Friday’s event at Prestonwood Christian Academy was the first one staged specifically for special-needs children.
Mavericks players Jalen Brunson and Justin Jackson, barely 12 hours after arriving home from New York at the end of a six-day road trip, helped the Mavs Basketball Academy host the group that consisted of students from St. Timothy and Prestonwood Christian at the Jr. NBA Clinic, presented by Nike.
The kids got a full taste of basketball fundamentals, with an emphasis on fun.
