Dallas, though, wouldn’t have come up with a win without the contribution of Trill down the stretch. The Kentucky product had a couple of big dunks in the fourth to help the Texas-based team keep the Pacers at bay.</p><p>After being traded to the Mavs in January 2020 and opting out of the NBA Bubble in Orlando, Cauley-Stein is looking to play his first full season in Dallas this 2020-21. So far, he has been able to stay healthy and play in the team’s first 14 games–starting seven. Though his numbers aren’t off the charts, the seven-foot center has provided consistency in the frontcourt.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Cauley-Stein has been playing a key role for the Mavericks as of late, but as it turns out, basketball is not his only passion.</p><p>WCS is an artist at heart and he’s actually quite an impressive painter. When asked about his art, the 27-year-old shared there is a stigma in the NBA against players pursuing their other passions (via <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30699455/introducing-willie-cauley-stein-mavericks-center-painter-extraordinaire">Anthony Olivieri of ESPN</a>).</p><blockquote>“They put that tag on you. ‘Well, you don’t love basketball because you do other things.’ You’re like, ‘What?’ I bet there are a lot more (artists in the NBA than we know about) just for that reason. They don’t want people to know.”</blockquote><p>The seven-foot Cauley-Stein also revealed some of his inspirations for his artworks, including Bruce Lee and Pac-Man. According to the former sixth overall pick, rock icon Jimi Hendrix also has a huge influence on his art.</p><blockquote>“I just got him tatted on my leg. I just love everything he did for me, man. He is the embodiment of ‘jiggy’ and just the creativity that he brought, flipping the guitar upside down and playing that new sound, is just revolutionary to the game.”</blockquote><p>WCS also expressed his infatuation with the Rennaisance era, something that he is “really, really into.” The same can be said about his love for a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-video-kelly-oubre-jr-does-naruto-run-enter-preseason-game-nuggets/">popular Japanese anime</a>.</p><blockquote>“My crew is infatuated with anime and the Naruto story. I mean, it’s pretty much the bible to us.”</blockquote><p>Willie Cauley-Stein is one unique individual and art has been one of the biggest expressions of his personality.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The franchise is currently at a maximum of 15 players and would have needed to waive one from the roster before Sunday’s deadline to complete the signing.</p><p>Mavs center Willie Cauley-Stein will <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1276205601509474304" rel="noopener noreferrer">sit out the resumption of the season</a>, opening up that spot for Burke to slide right into the 15-man roster. Cauley-Stein and his partner are expecting a newborn child in July, which makes it a crucial time to be away from his family.</p><p>The Mavs had been looking for a backup point guard to fill in for the injured Jalen Brunson, who is out for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery.</p><p>Burke, who averaged 9.7 points and 2.6 assists in 25 games for the Mavericks last season, seemed like a fitting piece to take to Orlando, as the Mavs are one of the 13 Western Conference teams invited to take part on the restart.</p><p>A former National Player of the Year during his time at the University of Michigan, Burke had a rough go in his first few seasons in the league but flourished during his brief time with the rebuilding New York Knicks — going from a two-way prospect to a starter in a matter of weeks.</p><p>Burke played 25 games with the Philadelphia 76ers this season but posted a career-worst 5.9 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in a deep reserve role.</p><p>This time around, Burke could see decent minutes backing up Luka Doncic at the point guard spot, likely sneaking ahead of veteran J.J. Barea upon signing with the team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
