After returning from a trip to China, a stomach virus has sidelined some of the Mavs

Rookies Kostas Antetokounmpo and Ryan Broekhoff, assistant coaches Darrell Armstrong and Stephen Silas, and assistant trainer Dionne Calhoun all missed Thursday’s practice while dealing with the nasty bug.

Coach Rick Carlisle said the Mavs are doing the best they can in hoping that the bug doesn’t spread to any of his other players or staff members.

“Broekhoff missed practice today with a stomach bug, Antetokounmpo missed it,” Carlisle said. “He missed the second half yesterday and he missed today.

“Dionne Calhoun, our assistant trainer, missed today. Steve Silas missed today. We’re all trying to avoid it.
