The NBA sent teams a memo on Aug. 12 about who would be allowed inside the bubble after the first round of the playoffs and what their limitations will be after arriving. Adrian Wojnarowski broke that down for fans. Luka took one of Woj’s tweets to poke fun at Barea. See it below.

J.J. responded in Spanish with what translates to “Tomorrow we talk about this”. Luka expressed his excitement about that too. The 5’10 Barea is the only Maverick under six feet tall this season. Doncic stands 6’7. The jokes were all in good fun.

The Mavericks were all spotted hitting the pool on Wednesday. See some proof below.

Luka posted a picture of him there on his Instagram story. It looks like the Mavs were once again enjoying hanging out together.

That closeness could pay off in the playoffs. As other teams want to head home, the Mavericks could take advantage. It is fantastic that they are back in the postseason. Anything from here is just icing on the cake.
