In the NBA Cup group stage, the Pelicans vs. Mavericks game is underway.

Before the game, Pelicans rookie Quinn accepted an interview with reporters. Talking about Jokic's previous praise for himself, he said: "It feels great. He is a several-time MVP and a member of the championship. I don't know if he gave me a lot of praise, but there is no doubt that the evaluation from such an excellent player must be meaningful."
