DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks took the court Monday for another intense practice session to prepare for Thursday's season opener against the San Antonio Spurs. With the preseason behind them, the team has valuable practice days to take advantage of before beginning regular season competition.

Klay Thompson, who did not play with Luka Dončić during the preseason, has focused on developing that chemistry during practice. Head coach Jason Kidd noted how critical these sessions have been in establishing a rhythm between them.
