With Dallas no longer able to advance out of its group after the loss to Los Angeles, the NBA announced two additions to the Mavs’ schedule. The Mavericks are set for a pair of regular season matchups against the Nets and Jazz, a pair of teams that also have been eliminated from the NBA Cup.

Luka Doncic scored 35 points with 11 assists against his former team and the Los Angeles Lakers finished perfect in NBA Cup group play with a 129-119 victory over the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Friday.

It's been a few weeks since Nico Harrison was fired as the Dallas Mavericks' general manager, but it's been almost a month since we've seen Anthony Davis take the floor for the Mavs. He's dealt with a calf strain that has kept him out since he went down against the Indiana Pacers on October 30th, costing him the last 14 games.

Dereck Lively underwent surgery on his right foot in July, and has already missed several games this season with a separate knee issue, too.
