Dwain Price: Barnes will not play toight against Minnesota. @Dallas Mavericks
Dwain Price: Carlisle on his team: “I like the group, I like the roster. The fact that we don’t have Dirk (Nowitzki) and (Harrison) Barnes is a big challenge tonight (against Phoenix). We’re going to play our brand of basketball and we’re going to have a chance to win some games.”@Dallas Mavericks
Dwain Price: What are the chances of Harrison Barnes playing in Saturday’s home opener against Minnesota? “It’s possible,” Barnes said. “Just like there was a possibility I was going to play today (against Phoenix). We’ll just see how it goes, and once I’m back I should be 100 percent.” #Mavs
Dwain Price: Carlisle on Barnes’ strained right hamstring: “He’s making good solid progress with no setbacks that I’m aware of. He did pick up his activity and was in more non-contact things. We’ll shoot for Friday, which should be a full practice day and see where we are then.”
Dwain Price: DeAndre Jordan on not having Dirk and Barnes on opening day: “Those two guys are the cornerstones of our team. Dirk’s been here for 40 years. Harrison is a helluva offensive player who we run a lot of things for, and he’s a defender for our team, a rebounder for our team.” #Mavs
Dwain Price: Harrison Barnes will miss at least the first game of the season Wednesday in Phoenix with a strained right hamstring. @Dallas Mavericks
Mark Followill: Harrison Barnes on our @FOXSportsSW telecast last night about his recovery from a hamstring strain – “I’ve been trying to push my body as much as the trainers will let me. The target date is game one, to be ready for that. If not, hopefully I won’t have to miss more than that.”

Dwain Price: Carlisle on if Barnes (hamstring) will make the trip to China. “I think it’s more likely he’ll stay here. I don’t know what good two 15-hour flights do for a hamstring injury. I don’t’ see the merits of it. But I don’t know if there’s been a final determination on that yet.”
Dwain Price: Carlisle said Harrison Barnes will miss at least the first 4 preseason games because of a hamstring injury. @Dallas Mavericks

Rising Stars rosters announced
Marc Stein: World roster for the Rising Stars game — which will NOT be played this year — as the NBA announced via @nba_topshot: Precious Achiuwa, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Deni Avdija, RJ Barrett, Facundo Campazzo, Brandon Clarke, Luguentz Dort, Rui Hachimura, Theo Maledon, Mychal Mulder.
Marc Stein: U.S. Rising Stars roster as the NBA announced via @nba_topshot: LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Tyler Herro, De’Andre Hunter, Keldon Johnson, Ja Morant, Michael Porter Jr., Zion Williamson, James Wiseman.
The Rockets, remember, could have traded Harden to the 76ers for Ben Simmons, but rumblings persist that Tilman Fertitta, Houston’s owner, pushed for the Nets’ deal built heavily on draft compensation in part because he could not bear to send Harden to Philadelphia, where Morey landed after their frosty parting. Amid the Nets’ surge to No. 1 in the N.B.A. in offensive efficiency (117.9 points per 100 possessions) and the Knicks’ unforeseen rise to No. 4 in the cushier Eastern Conference, I hope you haven’t missed last month’s other major development in the East: Simmons has responded to the sting of bracing himself for a trade to Texas with the best two-way basketball of his life.
Of late, teams have essentially built a wall in the paint to try to block his relentless attacks on the rim. The strategy has only created more opportunities for Zion’s teammates. His assists-per-game averages have steadily climbed, from 1.0 in December to 2.8 in January to 4.5 in February as he resurrects his days as a high school point guard and facilitator. “Playing with Z is amazing,” Pelicans backup center Willy Hernangomez said. “He just makes it easy. He’s just an animal or beast. Zion has been dominant.”
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday night’s home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to low back tightness. A source told ESPN that Doncic is still expected to play in Sunday’s All-Star Game even if he sits out Wednesday, which is the Mavs’ final game before the break.
Rick Bonnell: The @hornets’ @gordonhayward intends to play tonight versus Timberwolves. He provided detail on the hand injury that kept him out of the last 2 games.
