On a Dallas Mavericks team that has been historically good, one player has been particularly absent from adding to the fun. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been an afterthought. Dallas claimed him off waivers on February 11, but he has only played 75 minutes since then. He’s also taken just seven shots, making one.
Against the Utah Jazz, Kidd-Gilchist showed some life. With the Mavericks rested three starters—Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, Dorian Finney-Smith—Kidd-Gilchrist had his number called. He played 18 minutes and made the most of them.
