Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving on what they mean to each other: Doncic: “Nothing but supportive of everything I did…Just helped me mature a lot, realize to see the game in a different way, and obviously on the court it’s amazing to play with a guy like him…The leader he’s been…
Ryan Nembhard may not fully replace what Jalen Brunson brought to Dallas, but he might just follow in his footsteps. After an excellent Summer League in Las Vegas, Mavs fans should remember his name. thesmokingcuban.com/dallas-maveric…
After 5 SL games, several Mavs stood out, such as Cooper Flagg and Ryan Nembhard, with several others showing flashes as well. Despite all of this, it seems the battle for Dallas' final two-way spot is going to be a dogfight that will stretch into camp. thesmokingcuban.com/dallas-maveric…
Mavericks Summer League coach Josh Broghamer on what the Mavs have in Ryan Nembhard and what that says about him for Dallas to shut him down after three games: "You guys saw it, Ryan didn't have to prove anything else. I think everyone knows we got a steal in him, and he can…

Dallas Mavericks Summer League head coach Josh Broghamer on Cooper Flagg: "One thing with Cooper, you don't have to worry about him being in the gym, so I think he's always gonna work and try to get better whether he's playing the games or not. He does a great job with his work…
Klay Thompson went viral today, draining over 70 threes in a row, reminding fans why he is an indispensable piece of the Mavs' roster. Dallas clearly needs as much shooting around their bigs as possible, and Thompson will bring all of that and more. thesmokingcuban.com/klay-thompson-…
And that’s a wrap on my NBA Summer League! Thanks to everyone who followed my Mavericks coverage all week! Met tons of great people and caught some solid hoops along the way. Plenty more to come!

Dallas Mavericks guard Ryan Nembhard is out today against the Orlando Magic.
Asked Johni Broome about this playful sequence after the game: “I just hit a three and did the call guy, but you know we’re both in CAA, so during the predraft, we spent a lot of time together…” On Cooper Flagg: “He’s a very talented player, he went number one for a reason,…
Johni Broome looked at Cooper Flagg and smiled as he celebrated a made three from the left wing. Flagg grinned and fired back with a laugh: "That shot's broke!"
Mavericks rookie Miles Kelly knocked down five threes in today’s game against the 76ers, the most he has hit in a Summer League game so far. Fun fact: Kelly shares the same trainer as Klay Thompson, Justin Zormelo. Earlier in SL, Kelly said he is excited to learn from Thompson…

I've been super intrigued with Miles Kelly's game ever since Dallas signed him to a two-way deal. He has limitless range, can attack closeouts, and has a beautiful jumper. Even the misses look good. Especially off the catch.
This is the best game we've seen from Maxwell Lewis by far. Lewis already has 15 points. Has shot 3-5 from three and has some tough finishes sprinkled in as well.
