Head coach Jason Kidd agreed to a multiyear contract extension with the Dallas Mavericks after guiding the team to another playoff appearance.
"We are excited to have Coach Kidd continue to lead our team throughout the coming years with this well-earned contract extension," Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont."Kidd led our team to two playoff appearances in three seasons, and we are looking forward to his leadership in continuing to build and grow this already great franchise.
He helped guide the Mavs to a 52-30 record and a Western Conference finals appearance in 2021-22, his first season as Dallas' head coach. The team dropped to 38-44 and missed the playoffs in a roller-coaster 2022-23 season."I have known Jason for a long time, and I cannot think of a better, more qualified candidate to lead this team going forward," Mavs general manager Nico Harrison said.
Next up, the Mavericks will head to Oklahoma City to open up their second-round series against the top-seeded Thunder. Game 1 will tip-off at 8:30 p.m. CT on Tuesday.
