NEW ORLEANS - Jarrod Uthoff didn't exactly exhale when he was signed for the rest of the season Wednesday morning.
He's happy, of course. But it's just a start, he said.
"I don't know if it was a stress-out (thing)," Uthoff said. "I look at it as, my first goal is accomplished. It's a huge steppingstone, but I'm looking forward to the future."
In other words, he doesn't plan on this being a short-term association with the Mavericks.
