With the Mavericks’ scrimmage against the Los Angeles Lakers coming up on Thursday, coach Rick Carlisle got a glimpse over the weekend of how the games are going to look in Orlando when the regular season resumes later this month.
His biggest takeaway: “This is like next-level, unbelievable stuff.”
Carlisle on Saturday toured the largest of the three venues where games will be played on the Disney campus in the NBA bubble. He went with Oklahoma City guard Chris Paul and Dwight Powell, the Mavericks’ injured center.
It was a guided tour by deputy NBA commissioner Mark Tatum.
