Rick Carlisle asking Chandler Parsons to lose extra weight

Chandler Parsons focused on bulking up his physique this summer. As far as coach Rick Carlisle is concerned, Parsons added too much weight.

For the second time since the Mavs reported to camp, Carlisle made a point to note that Parsons needs to shed weight.

Carlisle believes the increased weight has created conditioning issues for Parsons. "He looked tired out there tonight to me, and his shot is short," Carlisle said. "He's up over 230, and we want to see him get down to at least 225."
