Mavericks part ways with head coach Jason Kidd after 5 seasons

Jason Kidd’s run with the Dallas Mavericks is over.

The Mavericks announced on Tuesday night that they have mutually parted ways with their head coach after five seasons.

Kidd has spent the past five seasons with the Mavericks. He took over ahead of the 2021-22 campaign after longtime head coach Rick Carlisle left for the Indiana Pacers. Kidd oversaw the Mavericks’ run to the NBA Finals in 2024 alongside star Luka Dončić, but the team has struggled ever since the shocking deal that sent Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Mavericks have not been to the playoff since, and are coming off a 26-56 record last season — which marked their worst season since the 2017-18 campaign.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.
