The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Utah Jazz in the NBA 2K20 simulation with a special twist. Donovan Mitchell played as the Jazz in the victory.

The Dallas Mavericks were scheduled to play the Utah Jazz on March 26. The game would have held significant playoff implications as the Jazz are fourth in the Western Conference and 2.5 games ahead of the Mavs. A Dallas victory could have pushed them closer to homecourt in the first round.

Fans may never get to see the game. The NBA suspended its season on March 11. We are into week three of no live basketball. There is no timetable for play to resume either. Health and safety are the priority here. Please be smart, healthy, and safe.
