The Mavericks lost to the Timberwolves 96-120. After the game, Mavericks coach Kidd was interviewed by the media.

Talking about the team's shortage of manpower in this game, Kidd said: "This is just part of the season. Health issues are a big problem for us. Some people take one game and one rest, and are limited by playing time after returning. The team has no continuity at all, and it is difficult to have it in the short term. We can only try our best to piece together the lineup, and we must give credit to the players in the locker room. They have been working hard. This is the situation until everyone returns healthy."
