Mavericks' In-Season Tournament Court Faces Unexpected Delay

The debut of the Dallas Mavericks' in-season tournament court will be delayed due to a manufacturing issue, forcing them to use their "core court" for their upcoming game against the LA Clippers. Testing revealed a manufacturing defect and the court requires additional work to meet the league's standards. The in-season tournament features three groups of five teams in each conference, with the quarterfinals, semifinals, and title game taking place in December.
