LAS VEGAS — The Dallas Mavericks wrapped up their week-long training camp at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) on Friday, a critical stretch of preparation as they gear up for the upcoming season.

One of the main storylines was Klay Thompson’s first exposure to the Mavericks’ system, along with the adjustments that other newcomers like Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes are making as they settle into their roles.

The Mavericks also dealt with key injuries and competitive roster battles that tested the depth and versatility of the team. Reflecting on the week’s progress, head coach Jason Kidd expressed satisfaction with the energy and execution throughout camp.

“It was a great week,” Kidd said. “We got a lot of stuff in, and the energy was really high. I thought the guys competed and got better each day, which is all we can ask for.”

Spencer Dinwiddie, who stepped into a larger role during camp, echoed Kidd’s sentiments, noting the detailed work the team put in during two-a-day practices.

“It’s been great,” Dinwiddie said. “A couple of two-a-days. We’ve been doing a lot of installing on both offense and defense—some zone concepts, really everything. One of the best things about working with Coach Kidd and the staff is their attention to detail. They give you a lot of information.”

As the Mavericks conclude their time at UNLV, they shift their focus to refining player roles and cultivating team chemistry ahead of the upcoming regular season.
