SAN ANTONIO – The Mavericks lived by one of the oldest sayings in the book on Monday night. It’s about quality, not quantity. With only eight bodies – seven during the final six minutes of the game – they dug deep for a 133-129 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center. It […]

SAN ANTONIO – It’s not often that a team can have the rookie of the year two seasons in a row, but the San Antonio Spurs may have a shot at it. Stephon Castle, the No. 4 overall pick last summer, has put together a solid rookie season and he’s peaking at the right time. […]

SAN ANTONIO – If you’re looking for the best bargain on the Mavericks’ roster this season, look no further than Kessler Edwards. The man has paid for his modest, two-way contract many times over. The 6-8 Edwards is earning $578,577 on his two-way deal. It allows him to be active for a maximum of 50 […]

SAN ANTONIO – If you listened closely to the postgame interviews after the Mavericks nicked the San Antonio Spurs 133-129 on Monday, you heard some news that should be very heartening to MFFLs. Klay Thompson was discussing the way the Mavericks are handling their brim-full injury list and took the moment to praise the play […]

Try as they might – and their available players clearly are the epitome of worker bees right now – the Mavericks simply are fighting odds that are stacked too high against them. And unless they get some help, it’s likely to stay that way. And there’s no guarantee that any help is forthcoming in the […]

Naji Marshall has been on a tear lately. Over the last four games, the Dallas Mavericks’ forward has averaged 25.8 points and 10.5 rebounds while shooting 52.6 percent from the field. Indeed, he’s been putting on a show during that span while a lot of the other players in the Mavs’ rotation have been mired […]

It had been a solid two games since the Mavericks had an injury scare, so naturally, they were due for more health issues on Sunday afternoon. Late in the third quarter of their 125-116 loss to the Phoenix Suns, the Mavericks watched Dwight Powell and Kessler Edwards – their last big men standing – run […]

The last time the Mavericks and Phoenix Suns met it was Dec. 27, the first game that Luka Doncic missed after his calf injury on Christmas. Things have changed a bit since then. Nobody knew then that Doncic would never again play for the Mavericks, ultimately being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Nor could […]

With four starters now on the injury list, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd acknowledged that at the moment he doesn’t have a clear-cut number one offensive option on his team. The situation at this point just doesn’t call for that. “No, there’s no number one option,” Kidd said following Friday’s disappointing 122-111 loss to the […]

The Dallas Mavericks gave updates on Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford on Friday, and all three players are trending in the right direction in recovery from their injuries. Davis has missed the last 11 games because of a strained left adductor and is improving daily to the point that the Mavs have […]

For three quarters Friday night at American Airlines Center, the Dallas Mavericks were racing up and down the court at a breakneck pace. They had 94 points at that juncture, and proudly took a five-point lead into the fourth quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies following a long buzzer-beating bank shot three-pointer by Dante Exum. Then […]

In celebration of International Women’s Day and as part of the Dallas Mavericks Women’s Night at American Airlines Center, MavsTV brought the theme to screens far and wide, producing its first all-women broadcast. The ensemble featured familiar faces Dana Larson and Lesley McCaslin, Dallas icon and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman, and, […]

The Dallas Mavericks kicked off the team’s Women’s History Month initiatives at the Perot Museum in Dallas on March 4 with the fourth annual Women’s Symposium. Hosted by the Women of Mavs Empowering Network (W.O.M.E.N.) Employee Resource Group, in partnership with Choctaw Casinos & Resorts, the sold-out event united thought leaders and professionals from all […]

If the Mavericks have a woe-is-us feeling right now, all they have to do is look at Friday night’s opponent to realize that there’s no such thing as hopelessness in the NBA. The Memphis Grizzlies’ level of despair was every bit as critical last season as the Mavericks’ is right now. The Grizzlies were going […]

MILWAUKEE – With guard Kyrie Irving out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, the major question is: does that mean the other prime-time player on the Dallas Mavericks’ roster – Klay Thompson – will have his minutes increased? “I think someone asked me are we going to have […]

MILWAUKEE – Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd took exception to any perceived connections that the reason guard Kyrie Irving tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Monday’s game against Sacramento is because Kidd had been playing him too many minutes lately. “The truth to that question is so far false or being […]

MILWAUKEE – Forward Klay Thompson didn’t mince words when asked how tough was it to try and defeat the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night when the Dallas Mavericks had a whopping nine players on the injury list. “We’re human,” Thompson said after the 137-107 loss to the Bucks at Fiserv Forum. “It’s very hard. You […]

The Dallas Mavericks concluded the team’s Black History Month initiatives in conjunction with AT&T last week, bringing history to life for DISD students during a visit to the African American Museum of Dallas. On Feb. 28, James Madison and Sunset high schoolers enjoyed a special tour of the long-standing museum located in Fair Park, alongside […]

MILWAUKEE – As the injuries unfortunately stack up for the Dallas Mavericks on the front line, so too have the minutes stacked up for Olivier-Maxence Prosper. Previously out of the rotation primarily due to the talent in front of him, Prosper has found himself squarely in the middle of the rotation due to injuries to […]

It’s Fat Tuesday and the only thing the Mavericks have overindulged in is injuries. Maybe they can give that up for Lent. The fact-gathering process about Kyrie Irving’s left knee injury is complete and an MRI revealed that the superstar guard suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament when he took a misstep late in the […]
