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. From the time he strained his left adductor Feb. 8 against the Houston Rockets, Davis […]

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 – 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. Reflecting on Irving’s injury following Monday’s 120-101 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, Davis said: “It was devastating. Kyrie is a phenomenal basketball player, […]

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. With a record number of entries for this year’s art competition, the winning group showcased their immense creativity, crafting submissions that blew away the selection committee. The five winners— Christian Anderson, Ilhana Davis, […]

THE COLONY – Eric Hunt and his two boys were seated in the domed area of Cosm, which can best be described as a sports bar on steroids. With almost beyond-belief technology, the huge semicircle had the Mavericks’ game at Indiana showing on Wednesday and if you didn’t know better, you’d have thought you were […]

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle was making such a fuss over Naji Marshall on Wednesday night that he probably wound up being the president of the Dallas Mavericks forward’s fan club. Prior to the game against the Mavs, Carlisle went on and on about how impressed he is with Marshall and what he’s […]

INDIANAPOLIS – For seemingly the umpteenth time in this heartbreaker of a season, the basketball gods appear to have turned their backs on the Dallas Mavericks once again. Ahead by seven points with under a minute remaining in Wednesday’s game against the Indiana Pacers, the Mavs appeared to hold the keys to victory snugly in […]

INDIANAPOLIS – Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis and guard Jaden Hardy were assigned to the G League on Monday so they could get some work in with the Texas Legends. Then, the Mavs recalled them later in the day. Both Davis and Hardy were able to play five-on-five scrimmages with the Legends. That’s often a […]

As Maverick fans wait for the return of Anthony Davis, the centerpiece of the blockbuster trade last month, the growth of Max Christie has been an interesting subplot. The 6-6 guard left a magnificent first impression when he came out firing (and making) shots in his first couple of weeks as a Maverick. Then, he […]

It most certainly was good to have P.J. Washington back on the floor for the Mavericks on Sunday afternoon. What wasn’t so great was having Quentin Grimes back in American Airlines Center. The former Maverick who was dealt to Philadelphia before the trade deadline, had 28 points to lead a determined, but understaffed, bunch of […]

As bad as things have been in the injury department for the Mavericks this season, they’ve been worse for the Philadelphia 76ers. Once possessing the same amount of optimism that the Mavericks started this season with, the Sixers are playing out the string and actually have a reason not to win games: they keep their […]

Five months ago, the NBA season was about to begin and the two teams that will have a high-noon shootout Sunday at American Airlines Center were brimming with confidence. The Philadelphia 76ers had just made a splashy offseason move to get Paul George and were ever-hopeful that the superstar grouping of George, Joel Embiid and […]

HOUSTON – As the few Dallas Mavericks players who are able to play make their way onto the court on a nightly basis, they can always look to the bench and see a lot of support coming from their teammates. And that especially includes the teammates who are unable to play due to various injuries. […]
