As he came down awkwardly and fell to the court on the baseline late in the first quarter, Kyrie Irving grabbed at his left knee and then stayed on the floor. And the Mavericks at that very moment knew the injury gods have no mercy. Or heart. The Mavericks’ emotional leader and top scorer left […]
A part of the Mavericks’ arsenal that has been missing for weeks might be ready to make a comeback. They signed center Kai Jones to a two-way contract on Monday and the athletic 6-11 center has a knack for catching and finishing lob-dunks, which once upon a time was a staple of the Mavericks’ offense […]
Last night, the Dallas Mavericks hosted the 10th Annual Mavs Ball, raising a record-shattering $2.14 million to benefit the Mavs Foundation! The annual event, presented by ShiftKey, is the premier fundraiser for the Mavs Foundation, with all proceeds directly supporting the Foundation’s mission to uplift women, children and families in need. This year’s Mavs Ball, […]
Klay Thompson went so far as to call Monday’s clash with the Sacramento Kings a must-win game. It might be a tad early to make such declarations, but given the Mavericks’ situation, maybe not. The Kings come to town having won three games in a row to move ahead of the Mavericks in the Western […]
The Mavericks already were aware of just how hard it’s going to be to tread water while they remain severely shorthanded. And in case they forgot, they got a stern reminder on Saturday. The Milwaukee Bucks are fighting for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference just like the Mavericks are in the West. And when […]
Saturday was a foul night all the way around for the Mavericks. With whistles blowing relentlessly, the Mavericks couldn’t find a way to stop the Milwaukee Bucks without fouling them and Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard orchestrated a 132-117 victory over the Mavs at American Airlines Center. Things were going along just swell in the […]
The Mavericks have had their share of bad luck this season with injuries and whatnot. Maybe enough for several teams. Now, they’re suffering through a stretch of bad timing, too. They will see the Milwaukee Bucks Saturday evening and they’ll be catching Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. when they’re on a pretty impressive stretch of play. […]
In a celebration of culture and entrepreneurship, the Dallas Mavericks partnered with Black-owned clothing brand 3nergy Forever for a one-of-a-kind apparel collaboration as part of the team’s African American Heritage Night. Jordan Giddings, founder of 3nergy Forever, started his brand during the 2020 quarantine, inspired by his belief in the power of personal energy. The […]
Sixty games into the NBA season, it’s become clear that the Mavericks are, at the least, going to be playing beyond the end of the 82-game grind. The Western Conference has 10 teams that are above .500 and have separated themselves from the bottom five. Six of those teams will qualify for the playoffs. The […]
As he made the walk from the American Airlines Center loading dock toward the locker rooms, Josh Green had a hard time not making the right turn into the Mavericks’ inner sanctum like he’d done hundreds of times before. “Extremely weird walking by the locker room and going to the away locker room,” Green said. […]
If you look up “low-hanging fruit” in the dictionary, a picture of the Charlotte Hornets probably accompanies the definition. The Hornets have been easy pickings of late for anybody who steps on the court against them. Until Thursday night, when they were anything but easy to harvest. The Mavericks had to work long and hard […]
LOS ANGELES – Part I of the Dallas Mavericks vs. Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers thriller went to the Lakers, who defeated the Mavs, 107-99, Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. The sequel will be April 9 at American Airlines Center. And if Tuesday’s game is any indication, the April matchup promises to be […]
Old home week continues for the Mavericks on Thursday night. No, it’s not going to generate the same electricity that surrounded the Mavericks’ Tuesday visit to Los Angeles where they reunited on opposite sides of the court with Luka Dončić. But when the Charlotte Hornets come to American Airlines Center as the Mavericks start a […]
The Mavs and Whataburger teamed up for another season to encourage North Texas youth to rise to the challenge and read for 20 minutes every day. The 2025 program officially launched on January 15 for students grades K-12 to log their daily reading and earn prizes from the Mavs and Whataburger along the way. As […]
LOS ANGELES – Awkward. That’s the word Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving used to describe his first meeting against Luka Dončić since the latter was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 2. Irving has been playing alongside Dončić in the Mavs’ backcourt for the past two years. The two had become fast friends. […]
LOS ANGELES – In an emotionally-charged game that had a playoff-type feel to it, Luka Dončić registered a triple-double in his first game against his former team and the Los Angeles Lakers outlasted the Dallas Mavericks, 107-99, Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. Dončić collected 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. But the Mavs’ sticky […]
LOS ANGELES – Just about everybody knows the Dallas Mavericks obtained forward Anthony Davis in that Feb. 2 trade that sent point guard Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers. What a lot of folks may not know is that the Mavs also obtained guard Max Christie in that much talked about trade. And Christie […]
SAN FRANCISCO – Jimmy Butler has made such a stark difference during his short stay with Golden State that Warriors forward Draymond Green went on record last week as saying they’re going to win the NBA title this season. Since acquiring Butler from the Miami Heat earlier this month, the Warriors have posted an impressive […]
SAN FRANCISCO – Not long after losing Sunday’s game to the Golden State Warriors, 126-102, the Dallas Mavericks had already turned their attention to the next game. And that next game is on the road Tuesday against Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Mavs traded Dončić to the Lakers on Feb. 2 for […]
SAN FRANCISCO – Sunday was not a very good day at the office for the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs turned the ball over too much, got beat up on the boards and failed to overcome an early 16-0 run by Golden State en route to losing to the Warriors, 126-102, before a sellout crowd of […]
