“I’m still part of this team, whether I can contribute on offense or defense, still proud to be a Dallas Maverick,” Powell said Thursday on a Zoom video call with reporters. “Once this was a reality and this was something that was going to take place, it wasn’t a consideration for me to not come. I wanted to be here to support the guys. I wanted to be here to be in practice, watch guys work out and support them on the bench or in the game.”
