Hutchinson recorded five tackles (five solo) including three sacks and a forced fumble in Saturday’s 20-19 loss at Dallas.
Hutchinson’s three sacks in Week 17 tied a career high he originally set back in Week 2 of the 2022 season. Saturday’s performance also brought his sack total on the year to 9.5, meaning he can secure the first double-digit sack season of his career by registering in the sack column in Week 18 versus the Vikings.
Do you want to dine at Dallas hot spot Catch but haven’t secured a reservation? High-end restaurants like Avra, Crown Block, Uchi, Catch and more are setting up pop-up shops inside the American Airlines Center during Dallas Mavericks games.
Those restaurants — plus others coming later in the Mavericks’ season — are among Dallas’ priciest dinner spots.
Patrick Lang, vice president of global restaurant and nightlife development for Las Vegas Sands Corp., a company owned by the families that bought the Mavericks, has a plan to bring high-end restaurants to the AAC without the high price and formal dining.
“How can we take this dining experience that is a real commitment,” he asked of Dallas’ finest spots, “and do it in a more fun, approachable way for fans?”

The next upscale restaurant popping up at the AAC is Catch, the seafood spot that originated in New York City and opened in Dallas in late 2024. Billionaire Tilman Fertitta and two NYC restaurateurs have grown Catch across the United States to cities like Las Vegas — yes, the city where Las Vegas Sands Corp. is headquartered.
Catch will sell a double royale with cheese and Parmesan-truffle fries on Dec. 6, 2025, during the Dallas Mavericks-Houston Rockets game. The burger and fries will cost $26.
The restaurant atop Dallas’ iconic Reunion Tower, Crown Block, is next. On Dec. 23, 2025, this restaurant managed by a couple from Vegas will sell a shrimp po’boy at the AAC for around $20.
Loro has restaurants in Addison and East Dallas. For one day, it served food inside the American Airlines Center, during the Dallas Mavericks’ season opener game in October 2025. Chefs sold a limited quantity 30 servings of smoked shishito queso.

For the Mavericks’ game against the Golden State Warriors Jan. 22, 2025, the team has confirmed Dallas Design District restaurant The Mexican will join the AAC pop-up. And in the spring, Lang hopes to do a special event with Wakuda, a modern Japanese restaurant in Vegas and Singapore.
Lang said adding restaurant pop-ups in Dallas was a natural step for Las Vegas Sands, which owns and operates resorts in Macao and Singapore.
“When new ownership took over the Mavericks, we had a pretty big vision,” he said.
“For years, we’ve partnered with some of the world’s best culinary brands. We have a deep track record of bringing exceptional experiences to our resorts, and we think these experiences should be part of a game day experience as well.”

It kicked off last season, with a caviar and fried chicken dish from Yardbird.
Other restaurants that have participated include Loro, the Austin-born, Dallas-bred Asian smokehouse; and Uchi, the high-end Japanese restaurant owned by the same Texas group.
Probably not. Lang said they’re focused on “marquee matchups” — basketball games that are on evenings, weekends or notable dates.
The first events were VIP only, just off the basketball court. Starting on Oct. 22, 2025, the pop-ups are on the main concourse of the AAC, accessible to any fan with a ticket to the game. Find them at the Modelo Gold Lion Bar & Grill on the Plaza Level (main concourse), near Section 103.
No. “It’s an incentive to get fans to show up and get engaged,” Lang said, but it isn’t a replacement for a full meal at one of these restaurants.
He’s dreaming of selling a chicken Parmesan sandwich from Carbone at a future event.
“That could be a really cool item,” he said. “How do we take something seen as very exclusive and a major commitment from a time perspective,” he said, “[and offer it] at a great price point?”
He thinks the partnership allows restaurants to be creative and reach a new audience, in a new place. It also gives Dallas Mavericks foodies a reason to go hunting through the AAC for new food.
No. Las Vegas Sands is utilizing its restaurant relationships for basketball games in Dallas. Concerts, Dallas Stars games and other events are not included.
The Mavericks will share restaurant details in game day preview emails, which are sent to ticketed fans and Mavs subscribers. Details will also appear on the Mavericks’ Instagram story on game day.
Entering Week 14, the Dallas Cowboys are dealing with multiple injuries.
One of the players on their injury report is Jadeveon Clowney, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. Clowney, who had his best game of the season with two sacks in Week 13, is said to be a game-time decision.

Dallas is protecting themselves, however, by elevating a fan favorite, Isaiah Land, for Thursday night.

Clowney, who was signed after Week 2, has been a solid veteran presence with 27 tackles and four sacks in nine games. He’s also been excellent at setting the edge in the run game.
If he is unable to play, Land might get his first chance to play for the Cowboys. Undrafted out of Florida A&M in 2023, Land was a favorite of former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. He showed promise in the preseason but never made the 53-man roster.
The Cowboys wanted to keep him via the practice squad, but Land was claimed by the Indianapolis Colts. He played there for two seasons, recording seven tackles and one sack in 17 games.
Land signed back with the Cowboys this August and has been on the practice squad all season.

Undrafted rookie Ryan Nembhard’s stellar play is quickly earning him respect within the Mavericks organization and opening eyes around the NBA.
And Nembhard seemingly is well on his way into forcing the Mavericks into a business decision.
As a player on a two-way contract, Nembhard is limited to playing 50 NBA games this season. But he’s already played in 10 of Dallas’ 23 games and started the last four.
After watching Nemhard follow his 28-point, 10-assist, no-turnover performance in Monday night’s win at Denver by scoring 15 points and dealing 13 assists in Wednesday’s home win over Miami, does any fan or media member remotely believe he should remain on a two-way deal?

“I’ll let my agents and everybody figure that out,” Nembhard said Wednesday night when asked by The Dallas Morning News if he’s giving any thought to the potential business aspect of his standout play. “Obviously that’s there, and obviously I’m on a two-way.
“But at the end of the day, if I go on the court and handle business and do my job at a high level, then that will take care of itself when the time comes.
“So I’m not too concerned about that. I’m just trying to win games and enjoy hooping.”
Smart answer. Much like his play on the court.
