Kia representative, Matt Pfeifer, presents @YogiFerrell11 with the Kia Rookie of the Month award for February. – at American Airlines Center

Yogi came off the bench last night for the Mavs after having been in a starting role virtually from the first day they signed him.  Today these tweets from Earl Sneed a Mavs beat writer.

Rick Carlisle says Yogi Ferrell's benching on the night he got his Rookie of the Month award shows "No good deed goes unpunished" in the NBA.

Rick Carlisle adds that Yogi Ferrell played well off the bench vs. the Clippers, and he sees Yogi as a great "utility player" in the NBA.

Key paragraph:  “He’s demonstrating a real consistency with the level of force that he plays with,” Carlisle said while praising Ferrell’s impact this season following the team’s Thursday practice in Memphis. “You know, that’s a really important thing. Last night, he was a little unaggressive offensively in the first half, as I mentioned after the game, and in the second half he just said, ‘(Forget) it.’ He just went hard, he stepped into open shots. And when you have that kind of attitude and you’re playing to your strengths, you can have a hot half like that. He’s showing some abilities as a scorer and as a defender, and he does a little bit of everything. He’s a guy that we like for a lot of reasons.”

So proud of Yogi. We were critical of him at times on here in the past but this last season made us all realize how valuable he was to the team. A hard worker and a leader--glad to see him tearing it up in the NBA. And I will say it --I miss him as a Hoosier!

With Portland's victory Saturday night, Yogi and the Mavs were eliminated from playoff contention.  Maybe next year.

Yogi's gonna get a lot of minutes.

The Mavericks could be severely shorthanded Tuesday night in their third matchup against the Kings (30-47), listing Barnes (rest), veteran guard J.J. Barea (rest), sharpshooter Seth Curry (left shoulder) and 13-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki (sore right Achilles) all as questionable. Meanwhile, the Mavs have already ruled swingman Wesley Matthews (rest) out for Tuesday’s contest.

I expect a lot of rest for the vets on the Mavs over their last games. They want to get the best pick possible now that they're out of the playoff hunt.

Mark Cuban says all of the young @dallasmavs will be going to the Las Vegas for the Summer League aside from Seth Curry & Harrison Barnes.

Rick Carlisle says Yogi Ferrell held his own against Chris Paul during Wednesday's game in L.A.: "I thought he responded very well."

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

Mavs lost to the Suns. Yogi had 21 points on 8-16 FG (3-6 3FG) 2-2 FT, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 TOs in 32 minutes.
