The Mavericks will be staying at the Grand Floridian Resort at the Walt Disney World. They began their practice as a team on July 10 after completing their 48-hour quarantine period as per league's protocols. Luka Doncic, who has been active on social media since travelling to the NBA bubble, was averaging a near triple-double 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists before the season was suspended on March 11 due to the COVID-19 crisis. In an interview after the team started their training, head coach Rick Carlisle stated that it was good working out together for the first time after the NBA suspension. "This is a historic situation. It's extraordinary, this environment they've put together, the care, the attention to detail," Carlisle explained. "We realize this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime thing". The Mavericks are scheduled to play against Houston Rockets on July 31 at 9:00 PM EST (August 1, 6:30 AM IST). They will begin their scrimmages by playing the Philadelphia 76ers on July 28.
