Latest news and updates about the Mavericks
For the first time in nearly three months, the Dallas Mavericks finally won a game at the American Airlines Center against a depleted Lakers squad. The Mavericks offense was clicking all night, with the paint scoring being especially impressive. While the defensive effort was lackluster, it’s hard to ask anymore of this Mavericks team. Without […]
The Dallas Mavericks (25-53) beat the Los Angeles Lakers 134-128 on Sunday in a nationally televised game that saw Cooper Flagg continue his scorched earth campaign on the NBA to close out the 2025-26 season. The Mavericks came out with real pace in the first quarter, but more than anything, it was Cooper Flagg that […]
It was a good job and good effort from the Lakers, but they came up short in their first game since learning that Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves would be out for the rest of the regular season. With three starters unavailable against Dallas, LA struggled early on defensively. Cooper Flagg made another strong case […]
You can’t fault Luka Dončić for not doing all he can to get back on the court. It appears that Luka is heading to Europe in an attempt to get specialized treatment to return from his hamstring strain earlier than expected. His agent Bill Duffy relayed the message to Shams Charania and Dave McMenamin of […]
No Luka Dončić, no Austin Reaves, no problem. Cooper Flagg took center stage on Sunday in a nationally televised game as the Dallas Mavericks (25-53) outlasted the Los Angeles Lakers (50-28) at American Airlines Center, 134-128.

The Dallas Mavericks (24-53) are home for an early Sunday evening game against the Los Angeles Lakers (50-27).

The Lakers had a devestating loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder […]
Jason Kidd is correct about some things. The Dallas Mavericks do need to move on. The team’s record should be higher than 24-53 after falling to the Magic on Friday night.

This week’s Dallas Mavericks centeric poll centered around the NCAA Men’s Final Four. Yes there’s still plenty of NBA basketball on (and perhaps you could and should go make a wager on NBA Rookie of the Year, now that Cooper Flagg has potentially recaptured momentum), but I think most of our fans are thinking ahead […]

On a night where everything that could go wrong did for the Lakers, the biggest blow did not come on the scoreboard. In the third quarter of Thursday’s demoralizing loss to the Thunder, Luka Dončić came to a stop for a jumper and immediately grabbed the back of his left leg. He lost the ball […]
One of the few things that hasn’t gone right for the Lakers during their recent winning run has been Marcus Smart’s injury.

The Mavericks were 1-3 this past week and did not move from 13th place in the West. They split their short road trip to the Pacific Northwest with a loss in Denver (142-135) and a win in Portland (100-93). They then got blown out twice with losses at home to Minnesota (124-94) and in Milwaukee […]
A depressing season of Dallas Mavericks basketball has led to the team’s nascent search for a new general manager. The initial reports on that search are also depressing.
