Dallas Mavericks forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will play an important role in NBA Disney

The Dallas Mavericks are in Orlando gearing up for the season’s restart. They will be back in the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Before that, the Mavs play eight seeding games.

Dallas is down a few players heading in. Jalen Brunson and Willie Cauley-Stein did not travel with the team to Orlando. Dwight Powell and Courtney Lee have been ruled out for the season with injuries. The Mavs signed Trey Burke as a substitute player, but he has not made his way to Disney World yet.
