The investigation into the Mavericks' front-office scandal remains in idle, awaiting input and possible sanctions from the NBA as well as ensuring that details in the investigators' report are double-checked, sources said Monday.

The hope is that the results can be made public next week. But there is no firm timetable.

Punishment from the NBA is likely, although in the last six months, the Mavericks have worked feverishly under new CEO Cynt Marshall to make changes not only to the culture in the front office, but many high-ranking positions. Could that serve as a mitigating factor with the NBA?

Possibly. However, nearly two decades of controversy involving sexual harassment and workplace misconduct that was first uncovered in a February report by Sports Illustrated cannot be dismissed easily.

Marshall said Monday that regardless of what the results of the investigation reveal, it won't impact the franchise's 100-day plan that recently was concluded and featured massive changes in top positions.

"We are moving forward," she said. "Welcome to the future."

Partnering with DISD: The Mavericks on Monday had a pep rally at Sidney Lanier Expressive Arts Vanguard just west of downtown Dallas, donating athletic gear to 157 schools in the Dallas Independent School District and activity tracking devices to 100,000 elementary school students.

"I remember when I was in fourth grade, we had coaches come to visit and I remember it to this day," said Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr., who talked to more than 100 kids at Lanier. "It feels great to be able to reciprocate that."

Said Marshall: "Kids look up to our athletes. To have somebody like DSJ who is such a champion on and off the court is wonderful. It's great for us to be able to do this and support these wonderful educators."
