Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor received a seven-game suspension from Major League Baseball for punching Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista last month. How many games do you suppose he’ll get for punching the Dallas Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki?

Kidding, of course—though Nowitzki tried to make it look convincing.
Still suspended by MLB, Odor spend part of the Rangers’ off day hanging out at the Mavericks practice facility, where he recreated the now-famous punch with Nowitzki.
Chandler Parson joined in on the fun by dubbing Odor, “Our new team security.”

Odor is eligible to return to the Rangers lineup on Saturday.
