Jason Kidd Secures His Future with the Mavericks

Dumont added that Kidd embodies everything the organization looks for in a leader and expressed his joy at his permanence on the team. They trust that Kidd will continue to guide the team with dedication and principles, with the aim of bringing more championships to Dallas. This extension comes after the interest shown by the New York Knicks in Kidd, before they hired Mike Brown to fill their coaching vacancy. The Mavericks denied the Knicks’ request to interview Kidd, who has a record of 179-149 during his four years in Dallas. Under Kidd’s direction, the Mavericks reached the Western Conference finals in 2022 and the NBA Finals in 2024.

“I am grateful for the trust that Patrick and General Manager Nico Harrison have placed in me, and for the confidence we have built together to build a team that Dallas can be proud of,” Kidd said.

Kidd also mentioned the quality of the group of players he has, his love for basketball, and his ability to learn. He highlighted the importance of being able to continue coaching the team that selected him and with which he won a championship as a player. Kidd expressed his enthusiasm for the future and his commitment to continue working to bring another championship to Dallas. Kidd’s previous contract extension occurred during Dallas’s participation in the 2024 playoffs, when the Los Angeles Lakers showed interest in interviewing him.
