DALLAS – The annual Dallas Mavericks children’s hospital visit might have been forced online this year, but Mavs’ veterans Jalen Brunson and Maxi Kleber eagerly stepped up to the plate to bring some holiday cheer to young North Texas patients.
Wednesday afternoon the duo gathered on screen to greet kids at Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and the virtual meeting was filled with plenty of laughter, gifts and cheer.
Instead of holiday pajamas, the children were adorned in hospital owns and most of them sat in wheelchairs, a scene that served as a humble reminder for Brunson.
