It’s always good to see an old friend but in this case, pleasantries will have to wait. The Mavericks need wins too desperately to worry about catching up with Jalen Brunson, the all-star point guard who bolted from Dallas after the 2022 run to the Western Conference finals. He signed a mega-contract with the New […]

ATLANTA – Their superstar point guard was back in Dallas dealing with a right wrist sprain. Two other players were battling an illness, and Klay Thompson was nursing plantar fasciitis on his left foot. Yet, the Dallas Mavericks exhibited just enough grit and determination to hustle their way to a hard-fought 129-119 triumph over the […]

MIAMI – Jimmy Butler got into his bag Sunday night and did a number on the Dallas Mavericks. The Miami Heat guard poured in a game-high 33 points, and more importantly scored the crucial basket that sent the game into overtime. And once the game reached overtime, the Heat were able to prevail, 123-118. Coming […]

ATLANTA – It’s games like Sunday’s against the Miami Heat where the Dallas Mavericks clearly miss point guard Luka Dončić. While the Heat were able to aggressively body-up on Kyrie Irving and force him into shooting just nine of 21 from the field, had Dončić been available to play, he would have been able to […]

MIAMI – As the games go by, Naji Marshall appears to be getting more and more comfortable with his role with the Mavericks. Signed to a three-year, $27 million free agent contract in the offseason, Marshall has been instrumental in helping the Mavs roll out to a 9-8 record this season. Not only has the […]

MIAMI – In the heat of the moment, it felt like the Dallas Mavericks had the tea leaves working in the favor and the necessary momentum in Sunday night’s game against the Miami Heat. Then, the tables rapidly turned, everything quickly shifted, and the Mavs wound up losing to the pesky Heat in overtime, 123-118, […]

MIAMI – The Dallas Mavericks enter Sunday’s game against the Miami Heat with an NBA-high tying four-game winning streak tucked in their back pockets. Besides the Mavs, the other teams currently owning a four-game winning streak are the Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks. But what separates what the Mavs have accomplished over […]

 DENVER – When it comes to the 2024 Cup Nights tournament for the Dallas Mavericks, it’s all about the Benjamins. In other words, each member of the winning team in the 2024 Cup Nights games will receive a whopping $500,000. And the Mavs – who are still in the thick of the chase for the […]

DENVER – With the thought of remaining alive to win $500,000 per player in the 2024 Cup Nights tournament, the Dallas Mavericks were able to stay afloat Friday night and capture a wild 123-120 triumph over the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena. The Mavs blew a 24-point second-half lead, then battled back and hung on […]

DENVER – Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie is abuzz about all the buzz surrounding his alma mater – the University of Colorado Buffaloes. As of now, the Buffaloes are all the rage in college football, ranked 16th in the nation with an impressive 8-2 record and winners of their last four games. The buzz took […]

For 15 years, the Mavs Foundation has collaborated with Buckner International during the team’s Season of Giving to supply Thanksgiving meals to families in need. And the word is out! Hours before this year’s Mavs Turkey Giveaway on Nov. 20, dozens of cars began to line the street adjacent to the Buckner Humanitarian Aid Center. With help from an […]

The Mavericks believe they have one of the deepest teams in the NBA. That depth will be tested in a major way in the next week. Luka Dončić had an MRI exam that revealed a sprain to his right wrist that he suffered in Tuesday’s win over New Orleans. The superstar guard will be evaluated […]

In the game-to-game, dribble-by-dribble world of the NBA, overreactions are standard operating procedure. Klay Thompson understands. He said earlier this season that he steers clear of social media because one night you’re the best shooter in history and the next night, you’re a bum. And he’s been both already this season, if you are an […]

There’s this subtle way Kyrie Irving has of dominating a game without it appearing as though he’s not a factor at all. During several stages of a game, the Dallas Mavericks’ guard will be doling out assists, running the offense, playing solid defense and working inside for rebounds. Then, all of a sudden Irving will […]

Champions are made at the Mavs Fall Classic. At least, that’s what the record books reflect, with three former tournament champions going on to win state championships last season. “We started the Mavs Fall Classic high school tournament in 2018 through a great partnership with Frisco ISD,” said Brad Freeman, Senior Director of Mavs Academy. […]

Slow starts have been such a part of the Dallas Mavericks’ storyline this season that they’ve almost become expected at this point. But that certainly wasn’t the case Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Mavs busted through the gate with a whopping 44 points in the first quarter and went on to walk […]

Jason Kidd has had to deal with a few injuries early in the season, especially in the last week when Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić missed a game each. New Orleans coach Willie Green should be so lucky. One of his stars missing a game would be nothing more than a ripple in the ocean. […]

The Dallas Mavericks are trending in the right direction after they followed a four-game losing streak by silencing their critics with a pair of huge wins on back-to-back nights over the weekend. After beating San Antonio (110-93) at home on Saturday and following that up with a major win in Oklahoma City (121-119) on Sunday, […]

What stood out most about the Mavericks’ 121-119 victory at Oklahoma City on Sunday evening was the way the Mavericks stood out. As in, head and shoulders above the Thunder. They exploited an obvious height advantage as the Thunder didn’t have centers Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams. They started five players 6-6 or […]

OKLAHOMA CITY – If you go strictly by the listed dimensions of their players, Oklahoma City started five shooting guards on Sunday night against the Mavericks. They could have crushed all comers in a 6-7 and under league. But they were going against the Mavericks, who fielded a more traditional lineup, even if it was […]
