• Kidd: Mavs fans have the right and should cheer for Dončić

  09-04-2025 05:01 via mavs.com
  
  In his own way of simply keeping it real, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd believe Mavs fans deserve the right to pay homage and show their appreciation for Luka Dončić when he and the Los Angeles Lakers visit American Airlines Center for a game on Wednesday night.
  Dončić played for the Mavs from 2018 until they traded him, Markieff Morris and Maxi Kleber to the Lakers on Feb. 2 for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round draft pick. Before he was shipped to the W

• Kidd and staff changed strategies, but not commitment to winning

  Anthony Davis had just scored seven points in the first five minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers and was clearly in a nice comfort zone.
  The Clippers couldn’t slow him down early in the game. It was a chance for the Mavericks to milk a hot hand.
  And then, Davis walked to the sideline – his minutes restriction and the medical staff’s desire to avoid playing the superstar big man for long stretches without a break dictating the move.
  It’s been a familiar scene for too

  As he stood at his locker in the visitors’ dressing room at the fancy Intuit Dome, which might be AI generated from the ground up given the crazy gizmos and electronics it has, Naji Marshall didn’t waste two seconds thinking about where the Mavericks will have their first game in the SoFi play-in tournament.
  “Doesn’t matter,” the Mavericks’ forward said. “Hell, no. Just get there.”
  With the Mavericks trying to create a new identity in the span of,

• Despite Davis’ return, Mavericks bounced by Clippers again

  06-04-2025 06:52 via mavs.com
  
  INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The Mavericks arrived in Los Angeles full of hope, riding a stretch of five wins in seven games and talking playoffs.
  The LA Clippers put those talks on hold, at least for the moment.
  While Anthony Davis returned to the court and kept the Mavericks in the game for a half, the Clippers blew open the game in the third quarter and rolled to a 135-104 victory Saturday night at the Intuit Dome.
  This after the Clips had won by 23 points on Friday.
  The Mavericks slid to 38-41

  INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Jason Kidd is heading to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for the second time.
  Already enshrined in Springfield, Mass., for his legendary career that landed him in the top three on the all-time assists and steals lists, Kidd on Saturday joined the other members of the 2008 U.S. men’s Olympic team in the hall of fame’s 2025 class.

• Run it back: Mavericks hope big men return for rematch with Clippers

  05-04-2025 13:00 via mavs.com
  
  INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Other than getting a key player or two back, there’s a couple of easy fixes for the Mavericks in their rematch with the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.
  Make more shots, which won’t be hard considering they didn’t make any three-pointers in the first half of Friday’s 23-point loss to the Clippers.
  And make the LA defense work a little harder.
  That, too, shouldn’t be hard if the Mavericks get a couple of key players back, which looks

• Mavericks reminded that Leonard is still dangerous

  05-04-2025 09:19 via mavs.com
  
  INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Kawhi Leonard may never be the same player he was when he was a two-time MVP of the NBA Finals as he helped San Antonio (2014) and Toronto (2019) win championships.
  But he hasn’t been bad for the Los Angeles Clippers this season, even in a limited capacity.
  And he certainly reminded the Mavericks on Friday that there still is plenty left in Leonard’s arsenal.
  The veteran forward had 20 points and didn’t have to play in the last 10 minutes of the game w

• With Davis out, Mavericks muzzled by Clippers

  05-04-2025 06:46 via mavs.com
  
  INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The Maverick’s primary concern no longer is making the SoFi Play-In Tournament. With Phoenix’s free-fall, staying in the top 10 in the Western Conference is a virtual lock for the Mavericks.
  But getting a home game to start the tournament? That became less certain on Friday night.
  The Mavericks suffered a 114-91 setback to the Los Angeles Clippers at the glitzy Intuit Dome. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings dusted the Charlotte Hornets, 125-102, and they now h

  Anthony Davis drained a leaning 15-foot fallaway jumper – floating to his left — with 3.4 seconds left and the Dallas Mavericks eked out a 120-118 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night at American Airlines Center.
  Coupled with Washington’s 116-111 win over Sacramento on Wednesday, the Mavs (38-39) moved

  Anthony Davis drained a game-winning 10-foot jumper Wednesday night to beat the Atlanta Hawks on a play that was so routine to him, he could probably do it with one hand tied behind his back.
  As it was, the gut-check jumper by Davis – while he was leaning to his left and heavily guarded – came with just 3.4 seconds left, snapped a tie and gave the Mavs a 120-118 victory over the Hawks before a boisterous crowd at American Airlines Center. It also was Davis’ way of reminding fol

  Entering Wednesday’s home game against the Atlanta Hawks, the Dallas Mavericks have used a whopping 43 different starting lineups this season due to injuries, trades and illnesses.
  Thus, when the Mavs had a rare full practice session on Tuesday, coach Jason Kidd said it was much needed in order to get his players on the same page and accustomed to playing with one another.

  In their 113-109 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the Mavericks showed their multiple personalities.
  They can be pick-and-roll beasts in their new incarnation with Anthony Davis joining an array of other ballhandlers as a lob-passing threat. They can rebound better than ever this season. And they can get to the free-throw line.
  On the other hand, they can look disjointed defensively as they adjust from being a super-small team to one with size.
  And then there’s what happens when they get to the

  The Mavericks got Daniel Gafford back in the lineup Monday night, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from a costly loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
  Despite a flurry of clutch plays by Gafford when the game was hanging in the balance, the Mavericks couldn’t get enough stops at the end to avoid a 113-109 loss to the Nets, a team they had beaten by 19 points last week in Brooklyn.
  The Mavericks slipped to 37-39 and their hold on a play-in tournament spot was dinged by the loss as they continue

  The former Richardson Pearce High School standout, who spent four season helping Gonzaga to college basketball greatness, on Monday fulfilled a lifelong dream by playing at American Airlines Center against the Mavericks.
  The 6-10 forward was not drafted after his senior season with the Zags and had his rookie season cut short in the G League when he suffered a broken left foot. He d

  CHICAGO – At a time when the Dallas Mavericks often have been dressing out just eight or nine players due to injuries, forward P.J.
