The Dallas Mavericks held their first of 17 scheduled practices Friday evening in a converted ballroom. While the setting of the practice court—and in general—isn’t normal, the players and coaches are settling into a routine as they prepare for the season’s restart.
Dallas’ first practice can be described as effort to get the players’ bodies reacquainted to the game after such a long hiatus. As Seth Curry put it, they were “just getting our legs back under us.” That won’t last long, though, as the level of intensity will increase in the coming days.
