While the Mavericks officially started training camp on Wednesday, today was Media Day, the annual training camp kickoff where all of the media can ask questions of just about every single player on the roster. It’s a fun way to see what type of storylines the season will contain, check-in on players, find out what goals the team and players have, etc.
For this year, there wasn’t anything especially revelatory, but there was definitely a renewed sense of energy — the Mavericks overhauled their roster this summer more so than any off-season since 2019. There are fresh faces in Dallas for the first time in years, and that added to a bit of the energy and excitement in the building.
