There was a Salah Mejri sighting Wednesday night at American Airlines Center.
And the Dallas Mavericks were the benefactors.
Mejri poured in a season-high 16 points and grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds as the Mavericks upended the Philadelphia 76ers 113-95 to stretch their winning streak to three games. It was only the first double-digit scoring game of the season for the backup center and his second double-digit rebounding game this year.
It showed what the 7-foot-2, 235-pounder from Tunisia can accomplish when he’s focused.
"We definitely needed him (Wednesday) and he showed up in a big way,’’ guard Devin Harris said.
