TORONTO – Desperate for a win to stop a three-game road losing streak, the Mavericks hope to welcome back Maxi Kleber when they visit the Toronto Raptors Saturday afternoon (4 p.m. tipoff, Dallas time). Kleber, who has missed the last four games with a sore lower back, went through a full practice Friday at Scotiabank […]

BOSTON – After Wednesday night, which actually wasn’t a bad shooting night by their standards, the Mavericks are hitting 34.4 percent of their three-point shots through the first 17 games. That’s not good enough, from Jason Kidd’s vantage point. It’s the lack of consistent outside shooting that has sent the Mavericks on a skid, losing […]

BOSTON – There was no late-game heartache for the Mavericks on Wednesday night. This one was a lost cause much earlier. A wretched first half left the Mavericks in a hole that eventually grew to 27 points and when they began playing a style more befitting of them, it was too late as the Boston […]

BOSTON – The Mavericks on the eve of Thanksgiving returned to the scene of one of their truly clutch moments from last season. For those who don’t remember, last year’s game against the Celtics at TD Garden ended with Spencer Dinwiddie’s three-pointer with under 10 seconds to go. It was the first of two game-winners […]

For those Dallas Mavericks’ fans patiently waiting for Reggie Bullock to start heating up from three-point range, analytics show that the 10-year veteran forward doesn’t really start heating up from downtown until after Christmas. In the 27 games he played last season before Christmas, Bullock was only 32-of-117 from beyond the three-point arc for 27.4 […]

BOSTON — If you were picking out fun cities, you could do worse than Boston, Toronto and Milwaukee. But if you’re trying to get some mojo working on the road in the NBA, this is a mighty tough trio of towns to try to do it. The Mavericks are 1-4 on the road over the […]

There’s no question that Dallas Mavs center JaVale McGee is one of the most charitable athletes in all of sports. His servanthood spirit has already transformed the North Texas community since he returned to the Mavericks this season. Monday night in Dallas, McGee made even more dreams come true when he hosted a magical Thanksgiving […]

PLANO — The Dallas Mavs and Mavs Gaming once again joined local nonprofit Minnie’s Food Pantry this year to serve over 4,000 families at their annual Thanksgiving turkey dinner giveaway. All the families were provided with a turkey and trimmings to prepare a complete holiday meal for their loved ones.  New Mavs Gaming head coach Ryan “Dayfri” Conger […]

Saturday night’s tragic shooting at a Colorado Springs, Colo., LGBTQ nightclub that killed five people and wounded 17 others hit very close to home to Dallas Mavericks forward Reggie Bullock. On July 16, 2014, Bullock’s transgender sister – Mia Henderson – was murdered in Baltimore. Because of that, Bullock is a strong supporter of LGBTQ […]

The texture of Sunday’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets completely changed based on what transpired at the end of the first half. Or, was that at the beginning of the third quarter? Confused? So are many others who saw the Mavs tangle with the Nuggets for the second time in three days. […]

That heavy foot the Dallas Mavericks planted firmly on the gas when they beat Denver by 28 points on Friday night was sorely missing Sunday night when the Mavs hosted the Nuggets for the second time in three days at American Airlines Center. Michael Porter Jr. nailed the game-winning three-pointer with 55.6 seconds remaining as […]

When asked how far Luka Dončić has come in his five years with the Mavericks, coach Jason Kidd took an opportunity on Sunday to explain it in defensive terms. “How many guys are in the league, 400-and-some? We started there,” Kidd said. In other words, Dončić was at the bottom of the barrel with his […]

The Mavs dominated in a 127-99 win against Denver two days ago. Doing it again would be twice as nice – and maybe twice as tough. This is the third season of a new era in NBA scheduling, with more and more teams now making two-game stops on the road to save some travel wear-and-tear […]

Seven years ago, JaVale came through Dallas and left a big impression. That was the problem. He was too big. While McGee’s return this season has had some ups and downs, the biggest reason why the Mavericks are happy to have the 7-footer back is because he’s a trimmed-down version of the guy who was […]

The subject was triple-doubles and Mavericks’ coach Jason Kidd was asked if he could remember his 50th. “March 23rd,” he said. “I turn 50.” Beyond the birthday, he couldn’t remember his 50th triple-double, but for the record, it came in his 649th game. Luka Dončić did it in 278 games. Only Oscar Robertson did it […]

When Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone goes into the film room to watch highlights of players with so much talent like Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic, it’s a very interesting development to say the least. “There’s certain guys, as a head coach, when you watch film it’s like watching a horror movie, because you […]

The Mavericks, and especially Luka Dončić, weren’t going to let it happen again. Three times in this young season, they’ve played opponents who were missing their leading scorer. Three times they lost those games. But they got it right Friday night against the Denver Nuggets, who not only were without two-time MVP Nikola Jokic but […]

If you look up Webster’s definition of tenacity, you might find a picture of Dwight Powell next to the word. Think about what his career has been like, in particular the other big men he’s seen the Mavericks employ during his nine NBA seasons – all but five games of which have been with Dallas. […]

We are getting close to the time in an NBA season when fans start wondering what their team’s identity will be. Some develop a gritty, battle-scarred demeanor. Others rely on their offense and finesse. Some simply fade into the wallpaper, never to be heard from again in the big picture. The Mavericks? They fashion themselves […]

The Mavericks are catching a huge break this weekend, although it will rob fans of their only chances this regular-season to see two-time MVP Nikola Jokic in Dallas. The Denver Nuggets’ superstar center entered the NBA’s health & safety protocols on Tuesday and will be lost for their visits to American Airlines Center on Friday […]
