While the Mavericks struggled on the boards, they excelled in other hustle areas, particularly steals and blocks. Mejri made one block in particular on the fast break that you’ll see a few times on your preferred sports highlights show.
For the night, Mejri finished with three blocks and two steals. As a team, the Mavs also recorded 13 steals. That’s a season-high mark for the club. Unfortunately, Mejri limped off the floor early in the fourth quarter and went the locker room after suffering a left ankle injury.
The Mavs (6-19) play the Utah Jazz (13-13) on Wednesday at Vivint Smart Home Arena at 9:30 p.
