Some Mavericks players are apparently not happy with DeAndre Jordan.
The center, aged 30, has "rubbed his teammates the wrong way," according to a report by ESPN. They believe that Jordan is playing "selfish" basketball, the report says, especially when he stole an undisputed rebound to rookie Luka Doncic during a game against the Knicks earlier this month.

Jordan defended the movement at the time.
"I guess I've been poaching for 11 years," Jordan told Dallas Morning News. "I feel that every rebound that happens is mine. So, I'm guilty of that. But honestly, when I go to prom, I'm not really looking for anyone else. "
Jordan left the Clippers to sign a one-year $ 24 million Mavericks deal in the offseason. He has averaged 11.2 points and 13.7 rebounds in his first 13 games with Dallas.
Dennis Smith Jr., at least one of his teammates, has launched himself into social media to defend his new teammate after the ESPN report. Smith posted a photo of Jordan and himself, side by side, saying, "Let the news be false Shawy and we already know it."
The Mavericks are ready to face the Jazz on Wednesday. They will enter this part with a 5-8 record.
