The Mavericks will close out the preseason Friday at Utah. Three games don’t give a lot of opportunity to iron out things. But the Mavericks feel like they are getting closer to being wrinkle-free. “I still feel like we got a great energy around the team,” said swingman Reggie Bullock. “We got a lot of […]

The Dallas Mavericks hosted a Jr. NBA Clinic on Wednesday afternoon at the American Airlines Center with students from the Boys & Girls Club of Dallas. Mavs veterans Josh Green and JaVale McGee led the drills, along with coaches from the Mavs Academy. The Jr. NBA is the league’s global youth basketball program which aims to […]

After he witnessed his team go through a full-fledged and very competitive scrimmage Wednesday morning at American Airlines Center, Dallas Mavericks governor Mark Cuban had a difficult time holding back his enthusiasm about the upcoming season. The Mavs advanced to last season’s Western Conference Finals, where they were dispatched in five games by the eventual […]

The unknown can cause fear, but also excitement. This time of year, the Mavericks have a bit of both. They don’t know what kind of team they will have and that’s both stressful but full of opportunity. They think they have improved over last season’s surprising run to the Western Conference finals. But then, 14 […]

He’s dotted all the necessary i’s and crossed all the pertinent t’s. In a survey released earlier this month by the NBA general managers, even they overwhelmingly said he should win the league’s Most Valuable Player award this season. So basically, it’s not a matter of if Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic will carry […]

The Mavericks on Tuesday exercised their option to pick up the fourth season of swingman Josh Green’s rookie contract. That means Green’s $4.77 million for 2023-24 becomes guaranteed. It’s usually a formality for rookies unless something goes haywire early in their career. For the Mavericks, it gives them a relatively inexpensive extension to try to […]

Sometimes, it’s hard to figure out whether somebody is smart like a fox or dumb as a rock. Like when you tell your daughter’s boyfriend to have her home by 10:15 and he says: “OK, the middle of October. Great.” That’s where I’m at when looking at the Western Conference. It’s easy to fall in […]

Jason Kidd has already divulged his opening-day starting lineup. But as with others in his position, the Dallas Mavericks’ coach left himself an out — just in case he decides to alter that lineup for various reasons that will be advantageous for his team. In essence, Kidd wants to have his best starting lineup on […]

Brendan Haywood and the NBA TV crew recently were on hand at a Dallas Mavericks’ practice session, and the former Mavs center walked away very impressed with what he saw. And it wasn’t just superstar point guard Luka Doncic who caught Haywood’s eyes. “The Mavs looked pretty good,” Haywood told Mavs.com. “The first couple of […]

It’s not exactly the NBA equivalent of a quarterback controversy. In fact, based on the past few days, it’s more like a mutual-admiration society between JaVale McGee and Christian Wood, the two big men who are penciled in for a time-share at center this season. Jason Kidd has made it clear that everything is fluid […]

Luka Dončić made his preseason debut on Friday night and the start of his fifth NBA season looked a lot like the first four. Dominant, determined, a little bit magical and smiling through it all. Beyond that, the superstar point guard gave us a couple clues of how he hopes to be even better this […]

Sometimes that journey to make it to the NBA is akin to walking through a mine field. A wrong step here or there, and the whole process can blow up in a player’s face. At times, point guard McKinley Wright IV feels like his quest to make an NBA roster has been filled with mines. […]

Even though Luka Dončić is in Dallas preparing for his fifth NBA season, the celebration back home in his native Slovenia continues. It’s the country where Dončić boldly played against – and often beat – the older kids. It’s where his step-back was born. Slovenia is where he first learned Luka Magic. Now other kids […]

TULSA – Christian Wood likes to go around telling whoever he can that Dallas Mavericks rookie guard Jaden Hardy was one of the steals of the 2022 NBA Draft. In his first game Wednesday night at the BOK Center – albeit it was a preseason game – against legitimate NBA talent, Hardy proved Wood’s words […]

Welcome to this week’s Mavericks’ Mail-It-In question and answer session. As always, we’ll be giving away a Mavericks’ hat to the question of the week, which this week went to our email-pal Joe. One thing about this week before we move along to questions. The exhibition season has begun and the players may not realize […]

Jason Kidd was playing coy Tuesday afternoon, saying that several Mavericks would stay behind in Dallas and sit out the preseason opener against Oklahoma City in Tulsa.

Last year this time, life for guard Frank Ntilikina was something he really doesn’t want to experience again. After signing a free agent contract with the Dallas Mavericks on Sept. 16, 2021, Ntilikina was unavailable to play in the preseason opener against the Utah Jazz due to falling behind his teammates because he had visa […]
