Brian Windhorst: Unfortunately the war [in Iran] made Abu Dhabi not happen this year. And so I basically said, ‘Can I still do this because Macau—the Vegas Sands was interested in hosting—and ESPN Australia has NBA rights as legacy from the 20th Century Fox deal.’ So I’m going to go down and do one at a venue in Melbourne on a Friday night, October 2nd, and we’re going to be at this place called Courtside Melbourne. They have courts and shops and restaurants, and it’s like a basketball hub in Melbourne. And I’m going to attend a Melbourne United versus Cairns Taipans game, and I’m going to be a part of the broadcast. And then I’m going to go to Manila, and in Manila, where Disney+ has the NBA rights. We’re going to do a bunch of promotion in Manila and have a podcast on October 5th with some guests at all these places. And then we’re going to go to Macau. There’s two games in Macau on the 9th and 11th, and on the 10th in between, we’re going to do a live event at the Venetian in Macau. So I’ll have guests from the Rockets and Mavericks and other NBA people on.

Their biggest run together came in 2024, when the Mavs reached the NBA Finals before losing to the Boston Celtics in five games. Hardy appeared in all five games of the series. "Whenever I was playing alongside Luka, he used to always instill confidence into the young players, tell them to keep going," Hardy said. "That helped me a lot when I was a rookie." "And playing alongside him then in my second year, when we went to the Finals, he was big for me during that time and during that stretch," he added. "He was someone that I could lean on and talk to."
Casino executive and Dallas Mavericks co-owner Patrick Dumont led a review of potential NBA arena sites in Las Vegas this week, according to Commissioner Adam Silver. The NBA's Board of Governors met in New York, and Silver confirmed the topic of potential expansion returned to the table.
The commissioner said there are several active groups involved in Las Vegas expansion talks, but he declined to elaborate further. "I'll say that there was a discussion led by Patrick Dumont, of course, who's a Las Vegas resident and [has] enormous operating experience there in Las Vegas, just sort of an independent objective party, led a discussion around the various sites, potential sites, in Las Vegas," Silver said.
