Mavericks players line up to individually greet Kevin McHale as he returns to coach Rockets



Kevin McHale returned to coach the Rockets on Saturday, after being away from the team for an extended leave of absence due to the passing of his daughter a couple of weeks back.

Before tip-off, the Mavericks players lined up to individually greet, hug, and shake hands with McHale as a show of empathy for all that he’s been through.

Great, great moment.

Nice touch, Dallas.

Class move by the Mavs. I'm sure their coach had something to do with that.

Class Move by Mavs Players despite their owner is such a classless owner!

I did not know McHale was with the Mavs in training camp 2009...

I remember On Dec 7 at the Spurs Home Game vs. Houston a moment of silence was held before the game in memory of head coach Kevin McHale's daughter, Sasha, who recently passed away. The Rockets said they will wear a green and purple band on their jerseys in her memory.
