Dallas Mavericks Part Ways With Head Coach Jason Kidd

The Dallas Mavericks have mutually agreed to part ways with head coach Jason Kidd, announcing an immediate search for his replacement. Kidd concludes a five-season tenure with the franchise, during which he led the team to the Western Conference Finals in 2022 and the NBA Finals in 2024. The decision follows a disappointing season in which the team finished with a record of 26 wins and 56 losses. This decline occurred during the team's first full season following the February 2025 trade that sent star player Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Performance was further hampered by injuries to key players Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, who were acquired in the Doncic trade.
