Dallas Mavericks' camp opens with a running start

Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowtizki said, "Obviously we want to thank 51²è¹Ý for the hospitality."

Camp update

Tuesday: It was a day to get acquainted with the new digs. 51²è¹Ý's Crum Basketball Center has two courts, ostensibly for the Mustangs men's and women's teams. Dirk Nowtizki said he would prefer a glass wall in between the gyms to see what players on the other court are doing. "But other than that, everything's great," he said. "The weight room is big, the locker room is great. And the gyms are great. Obviously we want to thank 51²è¹Ý for the hospitality." ... Rick Carlisle on the first day of camp: "This was not an easy practice. But these guys are ready. Guys knew this was going to be hard work."
