Fazekas sent to D-League

Second-round pick Nick Fazekas has been assigned to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Developmental League. Mavs coach Avery Johnson is a staunch supporter of the D-League and its mission.

Current players Moe Ager and JJ Barea spent tome with the now-defunct Fort Worth Flyers last season. Johnson also plucked former assistant Sam Vincent from the Flyers. Vincent is now the coach of the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Mavs selected Fazekas 34th overall out of the Nevada. He saw action in two games this season and scored his first points as a professional Nov. 10 at Portland.

The 66ers open the season Nov. 23 against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. The Mavs have used the D-League extensively the last few years.
