Marc Stein: The Mavericks plan to explore the marketplace but cannot make a signing unless Lee is formally waived. As @Tim MacMahon noted, Lee had a productive March for Dallas after the Mavs had previously lost two key contributors, Dwight Powell and Jalen Brunson, to long-term injuries

A tweet from Mavericks reserve point guard Jalen Brunson summed up the general reaction. “Lol come on coach,” Brunson wrote along with an accompanying face-palm emoji.
How’s recovery been going? Jalen Brunson: It’s been good. It’s a little bit annoying right now considering I can’t really go in to get physical therapy every day at the facility, or anything like that, but I’m making everything work. I have a nice little setup at home now where I can just wake up, do everything I have to do in the morning and then take a couple-hour break and then do it again in the afternoon. So I’m making it work and just trying to stay positive.
Jalen Brunson: I truly was trying to get back and trying to finish the season out. But also in the back of my mind, I wasn’t putting surgery off and saying it wasn’t a possibility. The morning of the day the NBA shut down, we were talking about when I could get it done if I wanted to get it done — just hypothetically — and then that night is when everything started happening, so we said ‘Hey, let’s get it done ASAP.’ We didn’t know how long this was going to be, how long it was going to take.
No one knows when the NBA will resume, but do you have plans to come back if the season gets significantly extended? Jalen Brunson: As of right now, I think it’s ruled out. I think we’re just planning on next year’s training camp. That’s if everything is going along schedule. But as of right now, I’m just focusing on rehab and getting back to full strength.
Mark Followill: Jalen Brunson had surgery today for the torn right labrum he suffered Feb 22. The Mavs announced no timetable for his return.
Brad Townsend: I’m told it’s far too soon to know whether Brunson will be able to return for the end of the season/playoffs, if they happen — mostly because no one knows when the restart time might happen. But today’s surgery did not eliminate the possibility.
Marc Stein: The Mavericks announce that guard Jalen Brunson has undergone surgery on his right shoulder. No timetable for his recovery was immediately set
Eddie Sefko: Brunson, Curry. Cauley-Stein, Powell and Kidd-Gilchrist all ruled out for San Antonio Tuesday. Finney-Smith questionable. Maximum of 10 suites up.
Brad Townsend: Brunson confirms that he has a torn labrum, postseason surgery a possibility, but he says his focus is to heal well enough to finish out this season. Doesn’t have a timetable.
Jalen Brunson to miss time with shoulder injury
Tim MacMahon: Sources: The Mavs fear backup PG Jalen Brunson has a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Brunson, a lefty, has been ruled out the remaining two games of this road trip but plans to return at some point and play the remainder of the season. Postseason surgery is a possibility.
Jalen Brunson: Please tell me this kobe news is fake please 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓
Eddie Sefko: Mavericks’ Jalen Brunson on being named college player of decade by Sporting News. “It hasn’t really sunk in. I try not to think about it. Accolades will only hurt me if I listen to it. I’m humbled by it. But I got to keep moving forward. I’ll worry about all that when I retire.”
Brad Townsend: Per Mavs notes for tomorrow’s game in Vancouver against the Clips: Jalen Brunson (sore left hamstring) is questionable; Seth Curry (right knee contusion) is questionable; Dorian FinneySmith (left hip flexor strain) is questionable; Dwight Powell (left hamstring strain) is out.
Eddie Sefko: With the new height measurements, Boban Marjanovic officially listed at 7-4, Kristaps Porzingis 7-3, J.J. Barea 5-10 and Jalen Brunson 6-1. Also, Dorian Finney-Smith at 6-7. No real shockers, but still some subtle changes.
Dwain Price: Jalen Brunson had the story of today. Discussing 7-3 Boban Marjanovic, Brunson said: “I swear we were playing, and Boban dunked the ball. He dunked, and then jumped. That was the craziest thing I’ve seen. I was looking around and everyone had the same face. That was nuts.” #Mavs
The 14-man USA Basketball Select Team includes Jarrett Allen (Brooklyn Nets); Marvin Bagley III (Sacramento Kings); Mikal Bridges (Phoenix Suns); Jalen Brunson (Dallas Mavericks); John Collins (Atlanta Hawks); Pat Connaughton (Milwaukee Bucks); Craig; De’Aaron Fox (Sacramento Kings); Joe Harris (Brooklyn Nets); Jonathan Isaac (Orlando Magic); Jaren Jackson Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies); Mitchell Robinson (New York Knicks); Derrick White (San Antonio Spurs); and Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks).
“It was fascinating to watch Dirk handle his last season,” Brunson said. “To be a teammate of his was very special. He’s hilarious. He can crack jokes all day. And the best part about it is he can take jokes too. Luka showed you how much talent he has. He’s only going to get better and better.”
Brunson always has been about taking care of his own, which is why he’s returning to Stevenson High School on Monday for the second Jalen Brunson Skills Academy. All proceeds go toward college scholarship money for one senior male and one senior female athlete.
“I want to give back,” Brunson said in a phone interview. “Stevenson always has a special place in my heart and my family’s heart. They welcomed us with open arms when we moved in in eighth grade. The school means a lot to me.”

Dwain Price: Carlisle said Luka and Brunson will not play summer league ball in Vegas this summer.
Chuck Cooperstein: Per Mavs: No Doncic (thigh) or Kleber (Knee) tomorrow in MEM. Brunson and Powell will both play. 5:00 tip @1033fmESPN
Mark Followill: On the 1230 NBA injury report, Luka (right thigh bruise) along with Brunson and Powell (load management) are listed as out for Mavs vs Grizzlies. We’re switched over to @texas21 for coverage tonight at 730
Dwain Price: It’s a final: @Dallas Mavericks 106, @Oklahoma City Thunder 103. Burke had 25 pts and 8 assists, Brunson had 18 pts, Devin had 15 pts, Powell had 11-9, Dirk had 7 pts and a season-high 13 reb. Mavs are 30-46 and will host Philly tomorrow at 7:30 p.m.
Jalen Brunson: Praying for Nurkic! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Tim MacMahon: Rockets 94, Mavs 93 (final). Chris Paul blocks Jalen Brunson’s jumper at the buzzer. Luka Doncic (19-15-9) uses his jersey to cover his face in frustration.
It is the view of people in the DSJ camp that Carlisle works with rookies Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson different than he works with Smith. And now you’ve got the organization maybe “within 24 hours” of a trade, a source tells me. (Two more important links here: Carlisle’s fault in all of this, and our Step-Back Podcast. Click on in.)
Tim MacMahon: Saw Chris Paul talking to Jalen Brunson and his NBA-ex dad, Rick, in an AAC hallway late after last night’s game. The rookie earned CP3’s respect with a 14-point, 3-assist, 3-steal, plus-11 performance in a spot start. Rick Carlisle: “This is the 33rd pick in the draft? C’mon.”
Jonathan Feigen: With Dennis Smith Jr. out, Mavericks rookie Jalen Brunson getting his second start.
