The Dallas Mavericks have found the problem: their training staff.
After a rocky season in which a swath of injuries wiped out any hope of regrouping following the franchise-changing Luka Donu010diu0107 trade, the Mavericks are moving on from several senior members of their health and and performance group, per ESPN. It is the third straight offseason in which they have made major changes to the group.
In this case, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison fired head athletic trainer Dionne Calhoun, who has been with the team for 21 years, and athletic performance director Keith Belton, who was reported last month to be involved in significant infighting over the Mavericks' health decisions.
