After a successful inaugural tennis tournament in 2016, Dirk Nowitzki came back for more — pulling out a star-studded lineup at SMU’s Tennis Complex on Sept. 16.

The round-robin tournament included tennis pros Andy Roddick, Mark Knowles, Tommy Haas and others. The tournament also included actor Owen Wilson, the Mavericks’ J.J. Barea, the Stars’ Mike Modano and Nowitzki.

Fellow Mavericks teammate Harrison Barnes played last year, but Nowitzki joked that he wasn’t invited back due to his poor tennis skills. As for Owen Wilson, the Dallas native was replacing his good friend Ben Stiller, who couldn’t attend this year.
