Latest news and updates about the Mavericks
Dallas is heading to Memphis for a divisional matchup with the Grizzlies to open their NBA Cup group play. Even less than 10 games into the new year, this feels like a “loser leaves town” matchup. The Mavericks and Grizzlies are both reeling from the recent drama surrounding each team, compounded by a lot of […]

They say it is always darkest before the dawn, but no one tells you how dark it can get. Or how long the dark will last. Fitting that the darkness for the Dallas Mavericks hits as we entered daylight savings time, turned our clocks back, and settle into the darker days. If you’ve been watching […]

The Dallas Mavericks are 2-7 and currently sit at 15th place in the Western Conference. There are 15 teams in the Western Conference. For a team with title aspirations and a luxury tax bill, this start is a disaster of epic proportions. The team has already been ravaged by injuries, which, given the personnel, is […]

In his post-game presser following an embarrassing home loss to the Pelicans, Head Coach Jason Kidd claimed the Dallas Mavericks’ offensive struggles were just “missed open shots”—a cold streak that would soon thaw. But eight games into 2025–26, the numbers and the film agree on something harsher: the Mavericks aren’t just cold. They’re uncreative. Fast […]

The Dallas Mavericks (2-6) head to Memphis Friday night for their first NBA Cup game against the Grizzlies (3-6). It is a tale of two dysfunctional teams: the Grizzlies, who attempt to make peace with star Ja Morant, and the Mavericks, who attempt to make, well, a shot. One losing streak will have to end […]

Josh Giddey is silencing the critics. When the Oklahoma City Thunder decided to move on from the guard ahead of their championship season, few were surprised. Giddey was coming off the worst season of his career, which ended with a very public benching in the postseason. When the ball wasn’t in his hands, he looked completely lost, so much so that the Dallas Mavericks considered him a non-factor when looming behind the three-point line. To be sure, fans and analysts alike were not co...

It might be time to take your hand off the “panic” button and click “rebuild” instead. Coming into Wednesday, the 2-5 Mavericks desperately needed a game against the New Orleans Pelicans to get back on track. New Orleans was just 1-6 coming into the night with their sole victory being against the Charlotte Hornets the […]

It’s no secret that the Dallas Mavericks are in a bad place at the moment. Sitting at 2-6, these Mavs have lost at home to two of the worst teams in the NBA already, losing to the Wizards and Pelicans all within a spell of three weeks. This extended stretch has taxed everyone involved, seemingly […]

After stealing Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline in February, Lakers President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka easily could have rested on his laurels this offseason. He could have run back the same group in hopes that a full season with Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves would result in a […]

Everything seems to be coming up Lakers. On the court, they’re in the midst of a five-game win streak led by Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. Off the court, the return of another superstar is nearing.

“Be disciplined to be disciplined to like and embrace the boring.” Those words echoed throughout basketball cyberspace after the San Antonio Spurs dismantled the Dallas Mavericks on opening night. Flash forward a few weeks, and it doesn’t seem like Mitch Johnson’s words have necessarily stuck with his young team. The Spurs beat themselves on Wednesday […]

Jason Kidd may not think the boat is burning after the Dallas Mavericks (2-6) suffered the team’s latest loss, at home on Wednesday, 101-99, to the New Orleans Pelicans, who were down three of their top players and on the second end of a back-to-back set. But it’s certainly is starting to smell like smoke […]

Even graded on a curve, the Dallas Mavericks’ 101-99 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday at American Airlines Center was a particularly ugly one. Dallas (2-6) shot just 6-of-22 (27.3%) from the floor in the first quarter. They shot 2-for-12 in the paint through the first quarter and a half of the game. […]

The Dallas Mavericks were beaten by the New Orleans Pelicans, 101-99 Wednesday night in Dallas. Cooper Flagg led Dallas in scoring with 20 points, but his 8-for-19 shooting night, including a missed jumper at the free-throw line with a chance to tie the game at the buzzer, makes that something more akin to a pyrrhic […]

My concern is simple: the Mavericks are not doing right by Cooper Flagg. For a generational rookie, the ping pong ball could’ve bounced anywhere — maybe to Washington, where Flagg would’ve missed shots, lost games, but played freely in his role and grown through reps. Instead, he lands in Dallas — a franchise that went […]

So Dallas is off to a 2-4 start. What’s the main reason for that? Do you think they can turn it around? Why or why not? Tyler: This is just a poor roster. It’s a guard dominated league and they just don’t have any. Even with a healthy Kyrie Irving, they’re still probably a guard […]
