LAS VEGAS – If the Dallas Mavericks are unable to advance any farther in the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League, it won’t be because they haven’t had any adequate rest.
The Mavs (3-1) haven’t played since beating Croatia, 79-71, this past Wednesday. And they won’t play again until they face the Minnesota Timberwolves (4-0) in the quarterfinals of summer league action on Saturday at 9:30 p.m. CT at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Obviously, a lengthy layoff could have a positive or an adverse effect on a team.
“This is going into my 12th season in summer league in the NBA, and this is the longest break that I’ve seen,” Mavs summer league coach Mike Weinar said.
