Washington finished with the second-worst record in the NBA last season and drafted Lake Highlands native Tre Johnson with the 12th overall pick. The Wizards enter Friday’s game coming off a season-opening 133-120 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

As of now, Mavericks star Anthony Davis isn't concerned. “We were playing a lot of isolation basketball, we’re not gonna win games like that. We got guys that are capable of doing it, but we don’t want to play like that…We gotta be able to move the basketball from side to side and get good looks."

Jason Kidd gave Nico Harrison a shoutout before the Mavericks' first game of the regular season against the Spurs on Wednesday night.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has an idea of where the NBA game is headed. If he's right, the Jazz are on the right path.

The Mavericks announced Tuesday night that they agreed to a multiyear extension, but didn’t reveal the length or any other details of the deal for Kidd, who is going into his fifth season as their coach. His first multiyear extension came in the middle of the 2024 playoffs when they made the NBA Finals before losing to Boston.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd on Friday commended Ryan Nembhard for his performance in four games this preseason.

With playmakers like Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg on the roster, Dallas could give opponents fits throughout the campaign. On Tuesday, head coach Jason Kidd was asked about the team’s length and whether that attribute makes the Mavericks the NBA’s strongest team.

The Mavericks have signed coach Jason Kidd to an extension in the wake of the Knicks' interest in hiring him over the summer.
