    From what he said I doubt he plays.

    Kinda surprised he was even practicing to be honest.

    Eh so what we have a great defender and a top 5 rim protector and a superior offensive player in Dmo. Dallas should be a cake walk with an elite player in Dmo.

    According to Morey, Dwight is a game time decision but TJ could very well feature.

    It means he has swelling in his knee and there is an accumulation of fluid.

    But yet Dwight was practicing. After this contract is up Dwight shouldn't be getting big money anymore. His body is breaking down one part at a time.

    Remember when tracy used to get his knee drained weekly? Then after the playoffs he got microfracture and pretty much ended his career.

    Welp.

    As long as T Jones stays in good health, do you think the line up featuring d-mo as our center and Jones as our power forward will work well?
