The Mavericks signed high-flying wing Derrick Jones Jr. on a one-year deal to round out the 15-man roster. Jones Jr. went undrafted in 2016 but has since made a career for himself with stints in Phoenix, Miami, Portland, and Chicago. Without question, Jones Jr. brings elite athleticism with him. The 2020 Slam Dunk Contest champion plays above the rim, measuring at …
The Mavericks had climbed their way as high as the fourth seed during a stretch that saw their longest win streak (7 games) since their championship season. Along the way, Dirk Nowitzki’s statue was unveiled on Christmas day, and we witnessed a historical 60pt/21reb/10ast performance from Luka against the Jalen Brunson-less Knicks. Dallas was brought back to earth after becoming …
On Thursday, December 15th the team announced that F Maxi Kleber will be out indefinitely. Kleber was diagnosed with a torn hamstring that will sideline him for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. This is the same injury that Bucks’ F Khris Middleton suffered in 2016, which kept him off the floor for 6 months. Kleber’s injury creates a significant hole …
The Dallas Mavericks have finally answered the looming question mark at the center position.

The question still remains whether Dallas opts to retain their pick, or to …
It took some time, but the Mavs are finally who we thought they were. The Dallas Mavericks began the season in an underwhelming fashion. Expectations were high for Luka Doncic and his team. Both Luka Doncic and his team got off to slow starts. Last week, the Mavs were able to get it together. After a disappointing loss to the …
This version of the Mavericks replicates a team centric approach that must be appreciated.
KP has missed 9 games and the Mavs have essentially played .500 ball without him on the court. Realizing what he brings the team next to Doncic shows how vital he is to team success.
Maxi Kleber is more than just the next big thing out of Wurzburg, he is an extremely valuable part of the Dallas Mavericks success on several fronts.
