FRISCO - On the surface, the Mavs-to-Legends story is about the three guys who accepted weekend D-League assignments. But look deeper: the story is really about three Mavs in Frisco who weren't there to play.
The Dallas Mavericks tossed some boomerangs at their D-League little brothers in Frisco this weekend, and on the surface the story is about guard Justin Anderson, forward Jeremy Evans and center Salah Mejri being assigned to the Texas Legends on Friday to play in what would be a 115-106 home loss to the Santa Cruz Warriors ... before the trio returned to the Mavs for Saturday morning shootaround.
