Dallas Mavericks to Retire Derek Harper’s Jersey


Mavs owner Mark Cuban confirmed that Dallas will honor Derek Harper by raising his No. 12 jersey to the rafters. Per ESPN: “Cuban said no date has been planned for the ceremony. Harper was the team’s first-round pick in 1984 and played point guard for the Mavs for 12 seasons during two stints in Dallas. He holds the franchise career records for assists (5,111) and steals (1,551), and ranks fourth in team history in scoring with 12,597 points. Harper will join former teammates Rolando Blackman and Brad Davis as players whose numbers have been retired by the Mavs.”
