🛑 BREAKING NEWS: It’s Happened Again — Dallas Mavericks Head Coach Has Finally Announced His Departure

 

Dallas, TX — July 17, 2025

 

In a shocking but not entirely unexpected move, Dallas Mavericks head coach **Jason Kidd** has officially announced his departure from the team, sending ripples through the NBA world.

 

During a press conference held early Thursday morning, Kidd addressed the media with a calm but emotional statement:

 

> “After deep reflection and conversations with my family and team leadership, I’ve decided to step down as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. This wasn’t an easy choice, but I believe it’s time for a new voice to lead this talented group forward.”

 

Kidd, who took over as head coach in 2021, led the Mavericks to multiple playoff appearances, including a deep run to the Western Conference Finals in 2022. However, despite the superstar pairing of **Luka Dončić** and **Kyrie Irving**, the team fell short of championship expectations in the 2024–25 season.

 

The Mavericks front office released a statement thanking Kidd for his leadership and contributions, noting his pivotal role in developing young talent and maintaining a competitive roster during his tenure.

 

Rumors are already swirling about potential replacements, with names like **Terry Stotts**, **Becky Hammon**, and even **former Mavs guard J.J. Barea** being mentioned as possible candidates.

 

Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.

 

In deeply tragic news, the Dallas Mavericks organization has confirmed that head coach **Jason Kidd** has passed away. Details surrounding his death have not been fully disclosed, but the team issued a somber statement early Thursday morning:

 

> “We are devastated to share the news of Coach Kidd’s passing. Jason was more than a coach—he was a leader, a mentor, and a beloved member of the Mavericks family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this incredibly difficult time.”

 

Kidd, 52, had been the head coach of the Mavericks since 2021, after previously coaching the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks. He was also a Hall of Fame player, known for his brilliant basketball IQ and competitive spirit.

 

NBA teams across the league have begun paying tribute, with a moment of silence expected before tonight’s scheduled Summer League games.

 

More details will be released as they become available. The Mavericks have not yet named an interim coach.
