Mavericks: How to watch Luka Doncic and Mavs in Olympic Qualifiers
By Tyler Watts
The Dallas Mavericks lost in the first round of the playoffs and have already undergone significant shakeups. Donnie Nelson and Rick Carlisle are out in Dallas after more than three decades combined with the organization. The Mavs officially signed Nico Harrison as GM and Jason Kidd as head coach on July 28. Now, the front office has to improve the roster around Luka Doncic.
The Olympic Qualifying tournaments kick off on Tuesday. There are four tournaments each featuring six teams. The winners advance to the Olympics in Tokyo later this summer. Luka Doncic is leading the way for Slovenia. The Mavs also have Boban Marjanovic (Serbia), Dwight Powell (Canada), and Nicolo Melli (Italy) taking part in the events around the globe.
Mavericks fans can check out all the games on ESPN-plus. Here is a look at the first two games for each of the four players. Two of the three teams in each pool advance to the semifinals, so each player could see a maximum of four games in the tournament.
