"Whose house can I come to for Thanksgiving?": No turkey dinner for Naji Marshall as Mavs star looks for holiday invite

After a strong performance against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, Dallas Mavericks wing Naji Marshall had a special request for fans.

The 26-year-old said he needed a backup plan for Thanksgiving as he could not spend it with those close to him.

"Whose house can I come to for Thanksgiving? All my family and friends busy," Marshall tweeted with a teary-eyed emoji.

However, Marshall may not be alone for Thanksgiving after all. Fans were quick to offer Marshall a spot at their dinner tables for the holiday.

"Come down to Rockwall my man," one fan commented.

Marshall is breaking out for the Dallas Mavericks to start the 2024-25 campaign. The fifth-year forward out of Xavier is averaging career-highs in minutes, points, steals and field goal percentage in 17 games this season.

Marshall is averaging 10.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists on 53.3% shooting.

The Mavericks have been without superstar Luka Doncic over the last three games due to a wrist injury, making room in the starting lineup for Marshall, who signed a three-year, $27 million deal in the offseason.
