The Mavericks announced Tuesday night that they agreed to a multiyear extension, but didn’t reveal the length or any other details of the deal for Kidd, who is going into his fifth season as their coach.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd on Friday commended Ryan Nembhard for his performance in four games this preseason.

After trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers and missing the playoffs, the Mavericks extend Kidd's contract, banking on No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg to lead a new era.

As of now, Mavericks star Anthony Davis isn't concerned. “We were playing a lot of isolation basketball, we’re not gonna win games like that. We got guys that are capable of doing it, but we don’t want to play like that…We gotta be able to move the basketball from side to side and get good looks."

After the Lakers vs. Mavericks game, Jason Kidd shared how dedicated Luka Doncic has been to improving his conditioning.

Jason Kidd gave Nico Harrison a shoutout before the Mavericks' first game of the regular season against the Spurs on Wednesday night.
