Dwight Powell is the latest in a growing line of international players who not only the Mavericks have acquired and developed, but that the city of Dallas has embraced and adopted as their own.
You can add Powell to Eduardo Najera and J.J. Barea – and, of course, Dirk Nowitzki as international ambassadors of various origin who have become a part of the DFW fabric.
The native of Toronto, Canada, has enjoyed a steadily rising NBA career that hit a speed bump about 18 months ago when he ruptured his right Achilles tendon.
As it turns out, that unfortunate turn of events was followed by the COVID-19 outbreak, a serious disruption of the league’s version of normalcy, a once-in-history Texas blizzard and the continued impressive development of the second international superstar Powell has played with – Luka Donu010diu0107.
