As Mavs guard Wes Matthews continues a comeback attempt of his own, he also spent some time assisting local kids with back-to-school shopping just in time for their first day.
Matthews, who signed with the Mavs during free agency this summer, is recovering from a torn Achilles he suffered toward the end of last season. But Sunday wasn’t about stretching, lifting, or shooting. It was about 30 children from Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Texas, their families, and lots and lots of shopping. Matthews and the Driven2Greatness foundation teamed up with Academy Sports + Outdoors in Dallas to give 30 students $150 each to use for purchasing new backpacks, shoes, clothes, and other necessities.
