ORLANDO – As if he had to remind his listeners about Jaden Hardy’s innate ability to be a bucket getter, Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd reiterated his stance about the third-year guard following Thursday’s 101-92 triumph over the Orlando Magic. “Hardy can play,” Kidd said. “Hardy is a guy that can score the ball, he […]

ORLANDO — One of the biggest surprises of the last quarter of the season for the Mavericks has been the stellar play of center Kai Jones. Signed to a two-way contract on March 2, Jones has been one of the bright spots of this injury-riddled season. Not only is he averaging 14.2 points and 8.6 […]

ORLANDO – NBA teams don’t always know which player is going to give them a shot in the arm on a game-by-game basis. On Thursday, the Dallas Mavericks got theirs from Jaden Hardy. The third-year guard came off the bench to convert 5-of-6 three-pointers and score 22 points as the Mavs rallied from an 11-point […]

With each passing season, the Dallas Mavericks and Mavs Foundation continue to prioritize community involvement.

ORLANDO – Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving underwent successful surgery on Wednesday to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The surgery was performed by Dr. Riley J Williams MD, Chief of Sports Medicine at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Irving suffered the injury late in the first […]

NEW YORK — Over his last 12 games, Naji Marshall has torched NBA defenses so often that it’s as if there’s no one trying to really stop him. During that stretch of games, the Dallas Mavericks’ forward is averaging 23.5 points and 7.8 rebounds while shooting a robust 54.1 percent from the field. And Marshall […]

NEW YORK – Kessler Edwards’ time as a player on the Dallas Mavericks’ active roster has ended. And what a whirlwind it was. Edwards was one of the Mavs’ two-way players this season. And under NBA rules, two-way players can be on an NBA team’s active roster for only 50 games. Tuesday’s game against the […]

NEW YORK – Not even a career game from Naji Marshall could prevent the New York Knicks from having their way — in the second half — with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. Marshall tallied a career-high 38 points on 17-of-25 shooting. But the Knicks countered with triple-doubles from Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart […]

This season, even in those rare moments when injuries don’t happen to the Mavericks, they seem to have a negative impact on them. It’s T-minus 10 games and counting in the regular season and the Mavericks are locked in a struggle with Sacramento and Phoenix for the final two spots in the Western Conference play-in […]

NEW YORK – Whether he’s in the starting lineup or coming off the bench, Naji Marshall keeps finding ways to have an impact on the game. On Monday against the Brooklyn Nets, Marshall found himself being one of the first players entering the game off the bench. It was his first time in that position […]

NEW YORK– Less than a month after he suffered a strained left adductor, Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis watched teammate Kyrie Irving sustain a season-ending tear of his left anterior cruciate ligament.

NEW YORK– Despite all the chatter on social media about whether or not he was going to play any more this season, Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis made it crystal clear that there was never any doubt in his mind.

NEW YORK – Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd couldn’t ask for a better belated birthday present. Kidd turned 52 on Sunday. Then on Monday, he discovered that one of his top players, Anthony Davis, was going to be able to play in that night’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. And what a gift Davis presented […]

NEW YORK — If the Dallas Mavericks have any designs on advancing to the NBA play-in tournament, it’s imperative that they step up their game starting this week. That’s because three of the teams the Mavs are playing on this four-game road trip against Eastern Conference opponents – Brooklyn, Orlando and Chicago – are coming […]

Spencer Dinwiddie has made a career out of being a Swiss Army Knife. Do a little of this, a little of that, start, come off the bench, be a star, sit as the 15th man. He’s done it all. Right now, his job is to help keep the Mavericks’ season alive. And when you are […]

For you skeptics that have dismissed the Mavericks’ season as a goner, consider Friday’s 123-117 win over the Detroit Pistons a “take that” moment. The Mavericks stopped a five-game home losing streak as they dusted the Pistons at American Airlines Center behind a season-best 31 points from Spencer Dinwiddie and 27 from P.J. Washington. And, […]

The Mavericks have been wearing out the Dallas North Tollway between downtown and Frisco. For the second time this week, they sent players to practice with the Texas Legends, ostensibly to have enough players to field a five-on-five scrimmage. Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford all worked out in Frisco with the Legends […]

The last time the Mavericks and Detroit Pistons matched up, it was Jan. 31 and the only memorable thing was in the postgame locker room when Markieff Morris sat alone in the corner stall. Nobody knew it at the time, but there was a reason why some players and coaches, in particular assistant Darrell Armstrong, […]

 INDIANAPOLIS – From Kai Jones’ vantage point, the Dallas Mavericks having to play games with just eight players is not really a bad thing. At least not for him. “I’m not going to lie, it’s fun because you know you’re going to play a lot, so I love it,” Jones said. “It’s like a dream. […]

The Dallas Mavericks celebrated five young artists last weekend who were chosen as the team’s 2025 Black History Month Art Contest winners.
