Wings Things: Recent losses, including latest at Golden State, set precedent for how to beat Dallas
The Golden State Valkyries (10-5) dialed in the recipe to beat the Wings (9-6) on Wednesday in their 91-80 win over Dallas.

The One We Couldn’t Keep
Jalen Brunson could barely find the words. You couldn’t blame him. The man had just done the one thing he’d organized his whole life around, and he did it as the player few outside his own family ever forecasted would be the one standing there. No longer the overlooked NCAA champion. More than the second-round […]

The back end of the 2026 NBA Draft is going to be quite the adventure for the league, including the Dallas Mavericks.

Kyrie Irving may not be on the trading block despite Mavs’ rebuild
Earlier this month, we touched on the possibility of the Dallas Mavericks moving veterans Daniel Gafford and Kyrie Irving this offseason as the team looks to rebuild for the future with Cooper Flagg as its centerpiece.

What can the Dallas Mavericks expect from the 9th overall pick?
The ninth pick in the NBA Draft is quite the interesting place to be. When you look back at the past 25 to 30 years, the swings between “complete flame out” and “Hall of Famer” are quite volatile.
