Walker and Delk did not play tonight per article



(I only pasted the relevant part of the article)

DALLAS (Ticker) -- Antoine Walker got a Texas-sized welcome from a fellow 
Chicagoan.

Walker, the latest All-Star added to owner Mark Cuban's arsenal, received a 
warm ovation prior to the Dallas Mavericks' 92-76 preseason loss to the 
Utah Jazz.

On Monday, Walker and guard Tony Delk were acquired from the Boston Celtics 
for forwards Raef LaFrentz and Chris Mills, guard Jiri Welsch and a 2004 
first-round pick. A seven-year veteran and three-time All-Star, Walker 
joins a potent lineup that already includes All-Stars Dirk Nowitzki and 
Steve Nash, former All-Star Michael Finley and high-scoring forward Antawn 
Jamison.

Walker and Delk were in street clothes and did not play. Before the game, 
Finley - who like Walker grew up in Chicago - introduced both players to 
the American Airlines Center crowd.

Things soured for the Mavericks shortly thereafter. Their only lead was 1-0 
as the the rebuilding Jazz controlled the entire game.
