With Dallas no longer able to advance out of its group after the loss to Los Angeles, the NBA announced two additions to the Mavs’ schedule. The Mavericks are set for a pair of regular season matchups against the Nets and Jazz, a pair of teams that also have been eliminated from the NBA Cup.

For the 22 teams that did not qualify for the quarterfinals, the league has given them two games each to complete their 82-game schedule since the rest of the tournament (apart from the championship) counts towards the regular season.

The Los Angeles Clippers hosted the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. The Clippers sported the City Edition jerseys. The Clippers fell to the Mavericks 114-110 at the Intuit Dome.

When the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Cup on Friday, it will not take place on the NBA Cup court, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. Techs from the league's court vendor determined that the court is unplayable and sent it back to the vendors for repair.

The Dallas Mavericks played the first night of a back-to-back against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night for the final game of NBA Cup action for the Mavs. The Lakers had already clinched the group, and the Mavs had already been eliminated, but any matchup between these two teams will be must-see TV.

The Dallas Mavericks are off to a rough 5-14 start, and with injuries piling up, trade rumors have begun to swirl. However, despite the team’s struggles and external noise, the front office has reportedly made its position clear on one key player: Kyrie Irving is not on the trading block.

Both the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers may be without multiple key players in Saturday night's matchup.
