Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving are among the Dallas Mavericks who will not play in the team’s preseason opener on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Thompson and Irving are out for “rest,” as teams are often cautious about stars’ playing time in the preseason.

Thompson has been an Anta signature athlete since 2015 and is expected to introduce his 10th signature model, the KT X, later this fall. Irving's first signature shoe with Anta, the Kai 1, debuted this spring.
