Dirk Nowitzki had to tear up his All-Star break itinerary when he got word late Wednesday that he was headed to New York for the 13th All-Star appearance of his career.

The rest of the Dallas Mavericks can proceed as planned with various vacations – or staycations – over the next week.

A sampling of how the Mavs plan to spend their All-Star breaks:

J.J. Barea: “Puerto Ricoooooooooo!!! I got my son’s birthday in Puerto Rico. The beach and the pool. It should be a good weekend. My high school also has a big tournament that they named after me.”

Chandler Parsons: “New York until Saturday and then I’m going to Mexico. Sun and the beach. Cabo.”

Monta Ellis: “I’m going to be here in Dallas. Man, you know, you’ve been doing these 10 years, they don’t need me spending no money right now. I’ll keep that lil’ ol’ money and sit at the house. I’ll travel in the summertime. “

Charlie Villanueva: “I’ll be in New York. I feel like it’s only right. The All-Stars are going to be out there, I’ll go back home. I’m also going to be with my son, too, and visit my mom as well.”

Devin Harris: “Beach and drinks. Grand Cayman.”

Richard Jefferson: “I have no plans. I’m going to a wedding in Phoenix and coming back here. My house is under construction in L.A., so I can’t go there. So I’m just going to lay low and get ready for the final stretch of the season. I know, it’s disappointing.”

Dwight Powell: “I’m going to L.A. My girlfriend lives out there. I’ll go for the weekend.”

Mark Cuban: “I’ll be up there [in New York] for a technology conference. Take the kids up there and hang out. The kids want to see snow. You’ve got to let your kids make their mistakes while they’re growing up.”
