Despite being 31–26 and being fifth place in the Western Conference in February, plus trading for 8-time NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving at the trade deadline, the Mavericks suffered a late-season collapse, ending the season going 7–18 and were eliminated from play-in/playoff contention for the first time since 2019 on April 7, 2023 following a 112–115 loss to the Chicago Bulls who also missed the playoffs after they lost to the eight–seeded and eventual Conference champion Miami Heat in the Play–in Tournament.[1] It is also the first time since 2014 that Irving missed the playoffs when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers. After the season, the Mavericks were fined $750,000 for tanking against the Chicago Bulls for trying to increase their odds in order to retain a protected top 10 draft pick.[2][3][4][5]
