Christmas started off not too good for the Dallas Mavericks. Then, after point guard Luka Dončić strained his left calf late in the second quarter, things got progressively worst. But after shaking off the thought of Dončić being injured again, the Mavs pumped some life into American Airlines Center before eventually falling to the Minnesota […]
While some players may act like the Grinch since they have to play a game on Christmas, the Dallas Mavericks believe it’s a badge of honor to have a game on Christmas. Especially a home game. “It shows what the league thinks of the team,” Mavs coach Jason Kidd said. “It’s an honor to be […]
Tommy Marshall had this dream of one day meeting Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Dončić. Through Make-a-Wish and with some assistance from the Mavs, that dream became reality on Monday. Before the Mavs’ 132-108 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, Dončić came out of his team’s locker room and met Marshall and his family. For […]
Perhaps lost in the Mavericks’ 113-97 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night was Klay Thompson picking up a season-high four steals. His previous best came on opening night when he collected three thefts against the San Antonio Spurs. After Saturday’s game, coach Jason Kidd was asked about critics doubting Thompson’s defensive capabilities, […]

With Kyrie Irving back in the lineup Saturday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Dallas Mavericks’ offense ran much smoother than it did during Thursday’s 23-point loss to the Clippers.

Luka Dončić has been ruled out of Saturday’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers. It’s the second straight game – both against the Clippers – that Dončić has been sidelined with a left heel contusion. However, Kyrie Irving, who also sat out Thursday’s Mavs-Clippers game with soreness in his right shoulder, will […]
Before reaching his goal of playing in the NBA, Quentin Grimes put together a very impressive resume that will rival anybody’s. Grimes was the first player at The Woodlands College Park High School in suburban Houston to letter and start every varsity game as a freshman. He also earned a 3.38 grade point average, and […]
At the 6:48 mark of the first quarter of Thursday’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers, a video tribute was played at American Airlines Center in honor of Derrick Jones Jr. Jones played last season for the Mavs and was instrumental in them reaching the NBA Finals.

Dallas Mavericks superstar point guard Luka Dončić did not practice Wednesday due to a left heel contusion and it’s uncertain if he’ll play Thursday when the Mavs host the Los Angeles Clippers. “We’ll see how he feels tomorrow,” coach Jason Kidd said. “But without the practicing, we’ll see how he feels.” Dončić has been on […]
