Mavs open practice to military, pack 1,200 meals for hungry children and families

Throughout the season, and in honor of Veterans Day, Remembrance Day and Memorial Day, NBA teams highlight team and player support of military members and their families through Hoops for Troop’s programming. Each NBA team honors retired military members and their families and hosts commitment to service activities featuring players serving the community alongside military members.

Dallas Mavs head coach Jason Kidd also opened up practice for the military members and they sat court-side and later played games on the court. The entire team interacted with the servicemen and women and signed autographs after the session.
