The last two seasons, Harrison Barnes was participating in the NBA Finals.

This year, his offseason began when the 33-49 Dallas Mavericks' season ended on April 12.

So, has Barnes been watching his former team as they take on the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals for a third straight season?

No.

Barnes spoke to the media at his basketball camp in Dallas on Saturday and said he has not tuned in for any of the games, according to Mavs.com reporter Dwain Price.

But Barnes is getting updates from one of the Mavericks coaches.

"[Player Development coach God] Shammgod keeps me up to date on what's going on. So I get a colorful play-by-play," Barnes told Price.

After four seasons in Oakland, Barnes played in 79 games in his first season with the Mavericks and averaged a career-high 19.2 points and grabbed 5.0 rebounds per game.

The Warriors lead the Cavs 3-1 in the 2017 NBA Finals and will look to win their second title in three years in Game 5 on Monday night.
