Harrison Barnes returns to Dallas!
18pts, 3rbs, 1asst

Everywhere he turned, people kept asking Harrison Barnes to look back on his years in Dallas, but Barnes seemed more interested in looking forward to a promising future in Sacramento.

Barnes was in Dallas on Tuesday night to face the Mavericks for the first time since they traded him to the Kings. The video tribute, the standing ovation and the throng of reporters surrounding his locker were nice reminders of the time they spent together, but it was clear Barnes had moved on following a 125-121 victory over the Mavericks at American Airlines Center.

“It was a lot of love, getting that tribute video,” said Barnes, who finished with 18 points. “Obviously, the fans here, we had some long seasons, but they came out every night and made it super special, and, yeah, it feels good to come back and get a win.”

The 90-second tribute to Barnes aired on the giant video board above the floor during a first-quarter timeout. It featured footage of Barnes on and off the court, shooting, scoring, laughing, smiling, engaging in community outreach events and high-fiving kids, all set to the song “Whatta Man” by Salt-N-Pepa.
