What happened
Mavericks coach Dusty May said he is still deciding who will start with Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving, and he said PJ Washington is in the mix after recent training-camp work.
Dallas has added more frontcourt depth, and Marc Stein reported the team is open to offers for Washington as the club weighs its long-term fit around Flagg.
Washington’s preseason usage matters because Dallas is sorting a crowded forward rotation, so his early minutes may depend on health and how the staff balances its new frontcourt pieces.
