How the Dallas Mavericks depth-chart shakes out 2 months from training camp
The Dallas Mavericks have made a multitude of changes so far this offseason with much of the roster being reformed. With a roster full of tall, versatile players, it makes slotting players into defined positions very difficult. I have slotted players based on their offensive roles and responsibilities rather than what they would traditionally play […]
What did you think of the Naji Marshall extension?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Mavericks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys: We’ll have results and discussion on this one a little later in the week
5 Big Reasons to Be Excited for Dallas Mavericks Basketball in 2026-27
Eighteen months ago, it was hard to imagine Dallas Mavericks fans feeling genuinely optimistic about the future. If you’ve followed my work for the better part of a decade, you know how serious a statement that is, because one thing I’ve never had anyone tell me is that I’m not optimistic enough. The baffling decision […]
Wings vs. Sun Recap: Dallas bounces back, wallops Connecticut 83-63
ARLINGTON, TX — The Dallas Wings (19-11) took care of business against an even more depleted version of the last-place Connecticut Sun (7-23), 83-63, on Sunday at College Park Center. Jessica Shepard and Arike Ogunbowale paced the Wings with 15 points apiece as the starting unit got the fourth quarter off in the blowout win. […]
Naji Marshall, Mavericks agree to 3-year, $52.5 million extension
The Dallas Mavericks announced on Sunday that they have signed forward Naji Marshall to a multi-year extension. Though the team did not disclose the terms of the deal, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the contract is a three-year, $52.2 million extension. Marshall was entering the final year of his previous contract with Dallas for $9.4 […]
Dallas Mavericks fans are still mixed on the offseason
Earlier this week we had a poll up asking you to grade the Dallas Mavericks’ offseason. This was a question where I simply assumed fans would give the team an A. The results were really interesting! There’s a lot to derive from results like this. Make no mistake, the vast majority of respondents thought Dallas […]
Wings vs. Sun Preview: Dallas looks to bounce back at home against Connecticut
The Dallas Wings (18-11) return home to College Park Center Sunday evening, where they will match up with the Connecticut Sun (7-22). This game follows the Wings’ second straight loss, both coming late in the game. Friday night’s loss against Washington displayed Dallas’ dire need for paint defense on the roster. Dallas needs to hone […]
The Mavericks need new jerseys, and now is the perfect time to unveil them
The Indiana Pacers just unveiled their new “statement” jerseys for the 2026-27 season. For anyone who has not kept up with the naming conventions Nike introduced a decade ago, the old “home”, “away”, and “alternate” jerseys are now called “association”, “icon”, and “statement”. The Pacers’ new threads are an ode to the 90’s and look […]
Wings vs. Mystics Recap: Dallas drops second straight close game, 81-75, at Washington
The Dallas Wings (18-11) were riding a stretch of seven wins in eight games going into the WNBA All-Star Break, but dropped their second in a row coming out of it on Friday, 81-75 to the Washington Mystics (16-12) at CareFirst Arena. Shakira Austin scored 19 of her season-high 28 points against the Wings in […]
Is new Maverick Tarik Biberovic the next elite European sharpshooter in the NBA?
Tarik Biberovic is not an up-and-coming youngster from somewhere far away. Well, maybe the last part, depending on where you live. The 25-year-old shooting guard helped lead his club, Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe, to multiple Turkish championships, a EuroLeague championship in 2025, and comes fresh off of winning the Turkish Cup Final MVP Award, 2026. He […]
3 things to watch as the Wings hit the road against the Washington Mystics
The Dallas Wings (18-10) travel to Washington for the first of two road games in a week against the Washington Mystics (15-12) 7pm CDT Friday at CareFirst Arena. The Mystics, winners of three straight, appear close to developing a winning formula in year two of their rebuild; they beat Connecticut Tuesday in their most recent […]
Roundtable: Grading the Dallas Mavericks Offseason
The NBA Offseason isn’t over but this week we decided to grade what the Dallas Mavericks have done so far. Michael: I’m giving the team an A-. That may be hard for some to fathom when a team like the 76ers landed Jaylen Brown and LeBron James (what could their grade possibly be if ours […]
Wings vs. Dream Recap: Dallas gets sloppy late, lose to Atlanta, 82-81
The Dallas Wings (18-10) fell to the Atlanta Dream (17-10) 82-81 in the final moments of the game, as the two squads returned from the All-Star break in a Wednesday night nationally televised showdown. Tonight’s loss came in the final moments of a match that the Wings held momentum throughout. The Wings controlled the first […]
Mavericks starting lineup can be fluid
The Dallas Mavericks are going into the season with a projected starting lineup of Kyrie Irving, Max Christie, Cooper Flagg, PJ Washington and Dereck Lively II. While this should be the starting five for the first game of the season (barring injury), it might not be how the Mavs finish the year. “This starting five […]
Wings vs. Dream Preview: Dallas gets back at it after All-Star Break against Atlanta
The Dallas Wings (18-9) will look to continue the hot stretch they started going into the WNBA All-Star Break with their first game in a week, when they host the Atlanta Dream (16-10) on Wednesday at College Park Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Wings have won seven of their last eight, and […]
Grade the Dallas Mavericks offseason
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Mavs fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. I suppose your answer to this question will largely depend on if you think the front […]
Masai Ujiri isn’t messing around with Mavericks
It’s been less than three months since the Dallas Mavericks tabbed Masai Ujiri as their president of basketball operations, giving him the chance to turn things around after former general manager Nico Harrison traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, setting the franchise up for a rebuild. Ujiri hasn’t been with the Mavs long, […]
The better Dallas Mavericks trade this summer
Last week we ran a poll asking a kind of complicated question that had two possible answers: which big Dallas Mavericks trade did you think was better? The big, eventual multi-team trade for Santi Aldama and the rights to Tarik Biberovic or the Mavericks trading for former Atlanta Hawk and number one overall pick Zaccharie […]
Why Lebron going to the 76ers is Good for the Mavericks
LeBron James signing with the Philadelphia 76ers does not directly change anything for the Dallas Mavericks. Philadelphia added him on a two-year, $8 million contract with a player option, giving LeBron another championship opportunity while allowing the Sixers to add him without dismantling the expensive core they had already assembled. He now joins Tyrese Maxey, […]
Mavericks fans should embrace the gap year
In just a few months, new Mavericks President Masai Ujiri and his counterpart, general manager Mike Schmitz, have grabbed this franchise by the ends and, in a single offseason, with one mighty heave, shaken off all the baggage clinging to this team like dust on an old rug. What was once one of the most […]
LeBron James has chosen a team — what it may mean for the Dallas Mavericks
LeBron James has chosen the Philadelphia 76ers as the next team he will play for in his illustrious career. As James has been wont to do over the past two decades, he once again took his time in making a decision before joining up with the newly reloaded 76ers who benefited from the acquisition of […]
Princess Crowned: Wings guard Azzi Fudd wins WNBA All-Star 3-point Shooting Contest
Dallas Wings guard Azzi Fudd gave the crowd at Wintrust Arena in Chicago that patented, sly little infectious grin she’s become adored for after scorching the nets for 30 of the possible 40 points in the final round of the 2026 WNBA 3-point shooting contest on Friday. Bridget Carleton of the Portland Fire came into […]
“We believe in him”. Do the Mavs have a bigger role in store for Sergio De Larrea than first thought?
How did Sergio De Larrea go from a relatively unknown Spanish prospect to a standout at the Summer League (SL), providing some of the most exciting highlights of the week? Toni Canyameras, a journalist covering the NBA for Spanish sports media Mundo Deportivo from Toronto, followed De Larrea closely during SL. He was also able […]
Cooper Flagg and his family took on Dave Portnoy’s crew on Family Feud
As the dog days of summer roll in, Dallas Mavericks’ star Cooper Flagg and his family gave us a little non-basketball levity. Team Flagg joined host Steve Harvey for a game of Celebrity Family Feud on Thursday night. Flagg was joined by his twin brother Ace, his other brother Hunter, his mother Kelly, father Ralph […]
The Mavericks have quietly ushered in a youth movement
The Dallas Mavericks are on a mission to rebuild around Cooper Flagg and any suspicion about their vision for the future has become apparent – get younger and get more athletic. Beginning with the selection of Morez Johnson, Jr. with the #9 pick in the Draft last month and continuing through to the trade for […]
