Mavs team up with Dallas Police, area youth for special basketball clinic

DALLAS – Jonathan Lax, a sixth-grader at St. Philip’s School in Dallas, could hardly contain his excitement. For over a year, COVID-19 prevented him from hanging out with some of his closest friends from the Dallas Police Department, and Saturday, everyone was finally back together.

“Today was a mini basketball camp where we had Dallas police officers, and the Mavs came here to do some drills with all of the kids,” Lax said. “It was fun. It was a whole lot of fun.”

For the fifth year, the Dallas Mavericks teamed up with the Police Athletic League – better known as PAL – for a basketball clinic presented by Smith Thompson.
