ARLINGTON, TX — First-year Dallas Wings head coach Jose Fernandez knows how to send a message to his team.

The Dallas Mavericks will be on the clock with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. For a team that already has Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg leading the way, the Mavericks aren’t exactly looking for the next superstar for the franchise. Instead, they are looking for players that can complement the […]
The Dallas Mavericks hold the No. 9 overall pick in the NBA Draft this year, but they need more than another flashy rookie to get their team back on track. Something the Mavs didn’t have much of during the 2025-26 season was good health. Those fortunes will need to reverse themselves in order for Dallas […]

The 2026 NBA draft has been hyped up for its depth of exciting guard talent, with 5 or 6 guards projected to go in the top 10. This of course has excited Mavericks fans, as there is no other team with a more desperate need at guard. But due to multiple meaningless late season wins, […]
The NBA has reached the point where having ball handling and secondary creation is necessary throughout your five-man lineups.

While a combo guard with […]
Khris Middleton was shipped to the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline in the deal that sent Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards. Middleton’s inclusion was all about salary.

Although the Wings lost 77-72 to the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday night, Arike Ogunbowale continued her strong start to the season in new Wings coach Jose Fernandez’s system. “Everybody can eat,” Ogunbowale said. “We have some pretty dynamic guards.
