What sports storylines are worth following in the coming months?
Hard to say since we don’t know when, or if, anything is coming back, but for the sake of the question, assuming there is a return to normalcy: The return of the Mavericks to the playoffs and our first chance to see Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis in that crucible. How much different will the Cowboys look with a new coach in Mike McCarthy (and a decidedly different roster). The opening of Globe Life Field for the Rangers, and the ability to watch July baseball in air conditioning.
