Mavs been seriously bitten by injury bug — biting into their practice time

HOUSTON – Some 23 years ago, Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson famously quipped “you’re talking about practice, not a game” after

he skipped a practice session during his team’s trip to Miami.

Fast forward to today, the Dallas Mavericks are crossing their fingers for the day they have enough players to have a practice session.

The Mavs only dressed nine players for Friday’s game at the Toyota Center against the Houston Rockets. That has become the standard for over a month when the Mavs started being besieged with the kind of injuries that’ll make Mavs Nation cry.
