Cuban skips trip to Denver again
But Cuban headed home from Oakland instead of traveling with the team to Denver. He has a daddy-daughter dance scheduled with his 6-year-old for Tuesday night.
Cuban hasn't been to the Pepsi Center since the first two games of last season's controversy-filled playoff series against the Denver Nuggets.
He joined his wife at the Clio Awards, where she was honored, during the playoff series finale. The Cubans were on a family vacation over Christmas break when the Mavs made their previous stop this season in Denver. And now Cuban has a date with his daughter.
"The rules are written in stone in the schedule at the start of the school year," Cuban said. "I didn’t make either schedule. All you’ve got to do is look at my daughter’s school calendar and you know exactly where I’m going to be.
"I’m either going to be at the game or a family event. Given that I want to stay married, that’s a priority."
In case you were wondering, Cuban does not plan to put his Dancing With the Stars experience to work this evening.
"I’m guessing my little 6-year-old with the corsage and a nice new dress isn’t looking for the mambo," he joked. "I don’t want her to try."
