Lamar Odom will play a D-League game on Saturday to prepare for Mavs return
THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2012 - 10:42PM
You might think the most significant part of this story is Lamar Odom and his return back to the Dallas Mavericks. With the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, teams are allowed to send down veteran players to the Development League with their consent. Having players' of Odom's talent-level playing in games is a hugely significant development to the upstarts league business.
According to Marc Stein from ESPN.com:
The Dallas Mavericks hope to have Lamar Odom back in uniform in a matter of days, but it might not immediately be a Mavs uniform, sources said.
Odom is likely to play at least one game with the Mavericks' D-League affiliate in nearby Frisco to, as one source said, "get his legs back under him." The Texas Legends play the Austin Toros at home Thursday night, but sources said it's more likely Odom practices with the Legends on Friday while the Mavericks are in New Orleans and then plays Saturday's home game with the Legends, also against Austin, while the Mavericks are playing host to Utah.
