MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Perhaps one day the Mavericks and their fans won’t lament the decision of former general manager Donnie Nelson, front-office guru Bob Voulgaris and their executive corp’s decision to not scout or select TCU product Desmond Bane in the 2020 NBA draft.
But they sure rued the miss Saturday night in the Memphis Grizzlies’ FedExForum.
The Mavericks lost, 112-108, after Bane put Memphis ahead with 3:22 remaining and finished his 25-point night with a corner 3-pointer in front of Dallas’ bench with 1:01 left, burying the Mavericks’ hopes of stealing another victory without Luka Doncic or Kyrie Irving.
