Cuban lends Mavs' plane to Barea to aid Hurricane Maria victims

Mark Cuban has lent the Dallas Mavericks' team plane to J.J. Barea to allow the point guard to transport food, water, and supplies to those affected by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

Barea has worked hard to help those in his homeland over the past week, organizing a relief fund with his wife, Viviana Ortiz, to raise money.

"I was really proud of J.J. and how quickly he got involved and how hard he worked to make all of this happen," Cuban told ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

"That's a situation that he's got to take care of," Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle said. "Mark gave him our team plane. They loaded up a bunch of stuff, supplies, etc., to take over to Puerto Rico, and they're going to turn around and come back. He's going to take his mom and grandmother back with him, and my understanding is his dad is going to stay over there and slug it out with all of the recovery efforts."

Barea and his wife have raised more than $140,000 as of Tuesday.
