‘Wide-eyed’ Harrison Barnes is soaking in the entire experience ahead of NBA Africa Game

Posted Aug 4, 2018
In the build-up to Saturday’s NBA Africa Game in Johannesburg, Mavs forward Harrison Barnes has turned his trip to South Africa into much more than just an appearance for a basketball game. He and his family, including his wife, mother, and in-laws, have taken in the sights, sounds, and history of the country. “I am just kind of wide-eyed trying to learn as much as I can,” Barnes said.
