The addition of Morez Johnson Jr. and Sergio De Larrea to the Dallas Mavericks roster brings new excitement to the team's offseason. As the Mavericks prepare to introduce Johnson Jr. to the city on Thursday, Southlake residents can look forward to potentially seeing the new players in action at upcoming games.
