Mavericks owner Mark Cuban used his Twitter page to deny any rumors that he's still interested in buying another sports team.

"To answer the questions, I'm not looking to buy any new sports teams, and if the Cubs come back up, I would not re-bid," Cuban wrote on Thursday afternoon.

Mark Cuban is seeking a court order to make the SEC turn over documents related to its insider-trading investigation of him.

Cuban filed a request for the records in December under the Freedom of Information Act.

?The SEC improperly refused to produce any records,? according to Cuban?s lawsuit.

An SEC spokesman was not immediately available for comment.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jose Juan Barea underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to repair a cartilage injury to his left shoulder. The surgery was performed in Dallas by Dr. Richard Levy of Texas Sports Medicine. A timetable for his return has not been set.

Jason Kidd will find himself in a similar situation as Karl Malone when the longtime member of the Jazz became a free agent and sought a championship with the Lakers.

But there are no guarantees in sports.

"There's no clear-cut way to a title," Mavericks president Donnie Nelson said Wednesday.

"And I think Jason really likes being part of a process, to be part of building toward something."

Kidd remains the Mavericks' top priority this offseason.

Medical records confirm that Crista Taylor, the woman arrested at Dirk Nowitzki's home earlier this month, is pregnant.

The Dallas Morning News reported on Tuesday night that Taylor was given a pregnancy test after she was booked on May 6 at Dallas County jail.

Taylor claims that the child is Nowitzki's, but the star's attorney is still skeptical.

"This is all new information to us. We have previously submitted written requests through her Beaumont attorney for an independent pregnancy test as well as authorization for release of medical records. We have yet to receive any response," attorney Robert Hart said in a statement.

"We would like to reiterate that, if her statements as to her pregnancy are true, Dirk will do whatever can be done to ensure the well-being of the child."

Now that the Mavericks are out of the NBA playoffs, owner Mark Cuban is focused on the insider trading suit that was filed against him by the SEC.

The suit, which was filed last year, is scheduled to receive it's first hearing on Tuesday.

"The basis on which they're going after Cuban hasn't been tried before," said Peter Henning, a law professor at Wayne State University. "Whether the SEC is going to be able to stretch (its authority) that far certainly remains to be seen."

The SEC alleges that Cuban engaged in insider trading when he sold his shares in Mamma.com Inc., after receiving information that the company planned to sell additional shares through a private offering in 2004. Cuban was able to avoid more than $750,000 in losses by selling his shares, according to the SEC.

Cristal Taylor has reiterated a claim that she is pregnant with the child of Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's attorney denied the claims on Friday.

"I'm willing to take a polygraph test on anything I state; can they do the same?" Taylor asked of Nowitzki and attorney Robert Hart. "This is getting outrageous. It's turning into such drama."

Taylor told the Dallas Morning News on Monday that Dallas County jail officials gave her a pregnancy test as part of a routine screening.

Strangely enough, Taylor altered her story on Friday. She said that officials asked about her last menstrual cycle. When she couldn't recall, they administered the test.

Mavericks forward Josh Howard underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to his left wrist and left ankle in New York on Thursday.  

He will return to Dallas this weekend to begin his rehabilitation.

Robert Hart, the attorney for Dirk Nowitzki, has voiced doubt about Cristal Taylor's claim that she is pregnant with the former MVP's child.

Hart said that in the "remote" chance Taylor's claim is true, Nowitzki will do everything possible to "ensure the health of the child," according to a statement released to ESPN.

Taylor claims that she didn't know she was pregnant until she was tested at Dallas County jail following her May 6 arrest at Nowitzki's home.

Hart is telling a different story.

"We have been told that she was not administered a pregnancy test [in Dallas County Jail]," he added in the statement.

The Dallas Mavericks will look towards the Clippers and they're expected eagerness to deal one or more of their veterans, including Baron Davis.

"We have to be open to anything ? anything! ? that would improve our team,? president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said Wednesday.
