The Mavericks go for gold (again) with City Edition jersey
The Dallas Mavericks are just weeks away from year-two Cooper Flagg and a new look roster taking the court for training camp. In the calm before the upcoming storm that is the NBA season, basketball-related news is quiet, but that leaves plenty of room for things like… jersey leaks. It’s no secret that the NBA […]

The reinvention of Arike Ogunbowale
For most of its history, being the franchise player for the Dallas Wings has been a thankless job. Ask Skylar Diggins, who came to Dallas when the team relocated from Tulsa in 2016, her fourth WNBA season. After three years, two All-Star appearances, two All-WNBA finishes, and zero playoff wins in Arlington, Diggins had enough. […]

ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings (24-16) made it four wins in a row on Sunday with their 97-71 win over the Connecticut Sun (10-30) at College Park Center. The win gives the Wings the season sweep over the Sun and moves Dallas into a three-way tie with the Washington Mystics and the New York […]
Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving dazzles in latest open-run footage
With the start of the 2026-27 NBA season less than two months away, Dallas Mavericks fans have many reasons to be excited. The continued development and ascension of 19-year-old Cooper Flagg is the biggest, but the return of star point guard Kyrie Irving has to be a close second. It has been quite a while […]
Wings vs. Sun Preview: Dallas looks to push win streak to four-straight as Connecticut comes to town
The Dallas Wings (23-16) host the Connecticut Sun (10-29) Sunday evening at College Park Center.

He’s here to stay: 3 reasons why the Mavericks won’t trade Kyrie Irving
We’re under two months away from opening night, and there’s plenty of chatter surrounding the new-look Dallas Mavericks. From draft night in June to trade splashes in July to personnel moves in August, the Mavericks have had a busy summer. They’ll begin the 2026 season with a new president, new coach, and a flurry of […]
Replacing Klay Thompson’s shooting volume
When the Dallas Mavericks opted to buy out Klay Thompson this week, they opted opt out of nearly a quarter of the team’s three point shooting attempts from the 2025-26 season. Thompson hit 202 and the Mavericks hit 899 as a team. That made this week’s survey question easy… who on the roster would step […]
The Euro Mavs part I: Are they really that different? How tradition and culture affect talent
The Dallas Mavericks have five Europeans on their roster at this point (including two-way player, British Tobi Lawal), two of which are completely new to the US and the NBA. But why do we keep talking about this? What is really the difference between a European player and an American? And does it matter when […]
Now that the Wings have clinched, can they avoid becoming playoff dinner for the Lynx or Valkyries?
The Dallas Wings (23-16) clinched a WNBA playoff berth with Tuesday’s 96-78 win over the Portland Fire. It’s a remarkable turnaround after getting shoved into the locker for two seasons on their way to a combined 19-65 record spanning 2024 and 2025. No one should take anything away from the team’s progression here. But a […]

Wings vs. Storm Recap: Huge first quarter lifts Dallas to 92-70 win over Seattle
ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings (22-16) let loose an all-out aerial assault to start Sunday’s game against the Seattle Storm (7-32), and never looked back in their 92-70 win at College Park Center.

Why the Mavericks couldn’t get more than the smallest slice of salary cap relief for Klay Thompson
Update: The numbers are out as of Saturday afternoon. Thompson will forgo $9.8 of the $17.5 million due to him for this third season with the Mavericks, and the team will eat $7.7 million, bringing them about $12 million under the luxury tax. After two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, Klay Thompson was ultimately reduced […]
Mavericks buy-out Klay Thompson
The Dallas Mavericks are buying out veteran guard Klay Thompson, the team announced Friday afternoon. Thompson will become a free agent, and reportedly sign with the Miami Heat. This was a long-rumored scenario, especially when it became clear the Mavericks were moving in a new direction around Cooper Flagg when ownership hired Masai Ujiri and […]
Santi Aldama to miss FIBA World Cup qualifiers
The Dallas Mavericks acquired Santi Aldama early in the offseason to give them some additional versatility in the form of a big that can shoot. Daniel Gafford is not a deep threat, and although Dereck Lively has shown behind the scenes that he is working on his 3-point shot, it is likely not game-ready and […]
Gina Miller wants to “help people fall in love with the Dallas Mavericks again”
“I’ll be real clear. Repair the relationship with the media,” Gina Miller said. She was hired by the Dallas Mavericks last November as chief communications officer to try to rebuild some of the trust from media and fans lost through the last years. In an interesting interview with Locked On Mavs, she talked about the […]

DALLAS, TX — Jessica Shepard dominated the first half for the Dallas Wings (21-16), then Arike Ogunbowale took over down the stretch as the Wings put together their best game in more than a month in Thursday’s 91-85 win over the Indiana Fever (24-13) in front of 20,297 fans at American Airlines Center. Kelsey Mitchell […]
Dallas Mavericks fans are split on PJ Washington
Over the weekend, Dallas Mavericks forward PJ Washington spoke with Kevin Gray of DLLS Sports and told him that he was very confident he’d be with the team for the start of the 2026-27 regular season. This led me to posting our weekly question about the Mavericks, but I made the question a bit more […]
Throwback Thursday – Playoff hero Calvin Booth – May 3rd 2001
On April 21st, 2001, the Dallas Mavericks officially broke the seal on the NBA Playoffs after a lengthy hiatus. Dallas had missed the Playoffs for 10-straight seasons, including a near miss in 1999-2000 when they went 40-42. Following that campaign, Dallas improved their win total by 13 games to finish 53-29 in 2000-2001, leaving no […]

Azzi Fudd to miss the remainder of the Dallas Wings’ season
The Dallas Wings announced today that Azzi Fudd, the team’s number one overall selection in the 2026 draft, will miss the remainder of the 2026 season.
