The Dallas Mavericks have been officially eliminated from the Emirates NBA Cup following their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
Dallas finished the NBA Cup Group Play with a 1-3 record, with their only win coming against the New Orleans Pelicans. Aside from the Lakers, they also lost to the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers.
Since Dallas failed to move on to the knockout rounds of the tournament, they will play regular season games when the NBA Cup resumes this December.
Before the season started, the league announced the schedule for only 80 games for every team, with the other two contests being decided depending on how the NBA Cup would play out.
