Mavericks Still Have Major Lineup Question As Training Camp Continues

Dallas Mavericks head coach Dusty May announced on Wednesday that he has not settled on a starting five four practices into training camp. May indicated that finding the right lineup will be an ongoing process that is likely to extend into the regular season, noting the coaching staff is currently evaluating various two- and three-man player combinations.

Injuries have impacted camp evaluation, with Morez Johnson Jr., Santi Aldama, and Dereck Lively II all currently limited. Despite the uncertainty, Kyrie Irving returned without restrictions alongside reigning Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg, as Dallas prepares for preseason games in Macao before their October 21 season opener against Houston.
