It would be nice and simple to say that if the Mavericks beat the Memphis Grizzlies Tuesday night at American Airlines Center, they will advance to the knockout round of the 2024 Cup Nights. But like most things in life, it’s not that simple. Things do look positive for the Mavericks going into the final […]
PORTLAND, Ore. – A couple of grizzled, hall of fame point guards hooked up on Sunday night at Moda Center. Jason Kidd on one side. Chauncey Billups on the other. A combined 50-plus years of NBA history and knowledge between them, not to mention 17,727 assists. And a mutual respect that only comes when you’ve […]
PORTLAND, Ore. – Luka Dončić was back Sunday night. And a few ebbs and flows aside, not much changed. The Mavericks continued to find a way to win. Dončić returned from a five-game absence and let the Portland Trail Blazers know that he’s still pretty good at this basketball thing. The superstar point guard rolled […]
Quentin Grimes got his NBA start in New York and became a well-liked, respected contributor for the Knicks in his three-plus seasons with them. On Wednesday, he paid his respect by slicing up his old team like a Thanksgiving turkey. Grimes pestered the Knicks at both ends of the court as the Mavericks got a […]
No matter whether they’re dealing with injuries or an illness, the Dallas Mavericks appear unstoppable right now. Over the last nine games the Mavs have produced a very impressive 8-1 record. The only other teams with a similar won-loss record during that time are the Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics, who also have […]
PORTLAND, Ore. – It’s been an interesting first quarter of the season for the Mavericks. They have played 21 games and shown several different personalities while keeping up a solid pace in the cutthroat Western Conference. Identity? Nope. Not even close. Not yet, anyway. But what Jason Kidd and his coaching staff have done is […]
DEC. 2, 2024 (DALLAS) – The Dallas Mavericks announced today that the Mavs Foundation will again allocate over $1 million to empower local children, women and families in need during the 2024-25 season. The funding will include grants, special projects, and emergency aid for nonprofits providing education and wellness programs, legal and counseling assistance, literacy and employment […]
SALT LAKE CITY – Kyrie Irving has always been a good three-point shooter. But he’s never been this good. The Mavericks’ guard is coming off a 106-94 win at Utah in which he hit 6-of-13 three-pointers, tying his season best for makes from distance. It extended a major hot streak in the first quarter of […]
PORTLAND, Ore. – It’s a matter of time until Luka Dončić gets back into action and it could happen as soon as Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. But even if he doesn’t return on the second night of back-to-back games, the Mavericks have a Plan B. It’s the same one that has helped […]
SALT LAKE CITY – Remember mid-November when the Mavericks had lost four in a row and everybody was looking for the nearest panic button? Nah, neither do the Mavericks. And with good reason. They returned to the scene of their nadir and avenged the loss on Nov. 14 on this same floor that sent them […]
SALT LAKE CITY – The Mavericks will bring the month of November to a close Saturday night against the Utah Jazz. And what a month it’s been for Kyrie Irving. Actually, more than five weeks if you go back to opening night on Oct. 24. Irving’s body of work so far this season has been […]
The holiday season is here— gift shopping is underway, decorations are on display, and party invites are flooding mailboxes. The added excitement around the holidays also brings a busy season for businesses everywhere, including those participating in the Mavs Business Assist (MBA) program. Sandwiched between two of the most popular shopping days of the year, […]
You’ve heard of the concept that less is more. If the Mavericks have their way, they’re going to rewrite that blueprint. In their book, they want more to be less. As in, more high-quality players and less stress on a certain superstar point guard. P.J. Washington has been nothing short of all-star level while Luka Dončić […]
The Mavericks had a strong 2-1 trip before returning home Wednesday to spank the New York Knicks 129-114. What all that means is that they have survived Luka Dončić’s sprained right wrist. Actually, they’ve done more than survive. They prospered. They moved up in the Western Conference standings as the season nears the one-quarter mark. […]
ATLANTA – Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy had a partyI in Atlanta on Monday night. Not that kind of party. It was the kind of party that had Hardy probably wanting to pop some champagne after he scored a season-high 23 points during the Mavs’ 129-119 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. The breakout game from […]
It’s always good to see an old friend but in this case, pleasantries will have to wait. The Mavericks need wins too desperately to worry about catching up with Jalen Brunson, the all-star point guard who bolted from Dallas after the 2022 run to the Western Conference finals. He signed a mega-contract with the New […]
ATLANTA – Their superstar point guard was back in Dallas dealing with a right wrist sprain. Two other players were battling an illness, and Klay Thompson was nursing plantar fasciitis on his left foot. Yet, the Dallas Mavericks exhibited just enough grit and determination to hustle their way to a hard-fought 129-119 triumph over the […]
MIAMI – Jimmy Butler got into his bag Sunday night and did a number on the Dallas Mavericks. The Miami Heat guard poured in a game-high 33 points, and more importantly scored the crucial basket that sent the game into overtime. And once the game reached overtime, the Heat were able to prevail, 123-118. Coming […]
ATLANTA – It’s games like Sunday’s against the Miami Heat where the Dallas Mavericks clearly miss point guard Luka Dončić. While the Heat were able to aggressively body-up on Kyrie Irving and force him into shooting just nine of 21 from the field, had Dončić been available to play, he would have been able to […]
MIAMI – As the games go by, Naji Marshall appears to be getting more and more comfortable with his role with the Mavericks. Signed to a three-year, $27 million free agent contract in the offseason, Marshall has been instrumental in helping the Mavs roll out to a 9-8 record this season. Not only has the […]
