I didn't follow any of the NBA playoffs ..
Novak is listed as as playing for the Mavs.

Even looks like he got a rebound in one game against the Spurs in round 1.
But tonight's box score doesn't list Steve as a DNP. Is he on the team? Does he get a ring?
I do not remember exactly when it happened but the Mavericks cut him earlier this year and he got picked up by the Spurs and was on their playoff roster
Ohhh. Damn. I was rooting for the Mavs because I thought Novak was "playing" for them.
I want a refund!
Before the early January deadline for annual contracts to become guaranteed for the rest of the year, Novak was cut by the Mavs.
He was out of a job entirely, for a bit, then San Antonio picked him up,incl. through the playoffs ...completing his Texas NBA circuit (he was drafted by the Rockets).
