Smith Jr. Makes his Return as the Pistons Come to Town

Following two heartbreaking losses to the Spurs and Suns, the Dallas Mavericks will look to turn things around as the Detroit Pistons enter the AAC. Turning things around might come a little easier with rookie, Dennis Smith Jr., back on the court tonight.

Confirmed by Coach Carlisle this morning, DSJ will return tonight against the Pistons. The rookie may be on a minute restriction coming off his six game absence.

Along with the return of DSJ, the Mavs called up guard Kyle Collinsworth from the Texas Legends. Collinsworth, a 6-foot-6 versatile guard, signed a two-way contract on Tuesday with Dallas following scoring a season-high 24 points in his last game on Saturday with the Legends.
