The Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night will renew one of the NBA's greatest in-state rivalries that includes titanic playoff clashes over the last two decades with entirely new casts on both squads.

Gone from the Spurs are Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili to retirement. Tony Parker, honored in an emotional ceremony Monday back in San Antonio, suits up for the Charlotte Hornets. Even rivalry late-comer Kawhi Leonard now resides in Toronto.

For Dallas, Dirk Nowitzki is a low-minute bench player in his 21st NBA season. Rivalry veteran J.J. Barea was recently lost to an Achilles injury that ended his season.
