FILE - In this March 10, 2020, file photo, Minnesota Timberwolves forward James Johnson (16) shoots after getting past Houston Rockets forwards Danuel House Jr., left, and Jeff Green (32) during the first half of an NBA basketball game in Houston. Luca Doncic's first experience with the playoffs ended with questions about whether Marcus Morris of the Los Angeles Clippers was intentionally trying to hurt the young Dallas sensation. The Mavericks might have hinted at what they thought through trades and draft picks during this abbreviated offseason. Dallas acquired Johnson and his black belt in karate from the Oklahoma City Thunder after using the club's first-round choice at No. 18 overall on Josh Green, who was a strong defender in his only season at Arizona.
