Mavericks Part Ways with Head Coach Jason Kidd

The Dallas Mavericks have fired head coach Jason Kidd, the team announced Monday. The decision comes after a disappointing season that saw the Mavericks fail to meet expectations. Kidd, who took over as head coach in 2021, led the team to a 104-80 record over two and a half seasons, including a Western Conference finals appearance in 2022. However, inconsistent performance and reported tensions with star player Luka Dončić contributed to his dismissal. The Mavericks will begin an immediate search for a new head coach.
