2024–25 Dallas Mavericks season
2024–25 NBA season by team From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024–25 Dallas Mavericks season is the 45th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Mavericks would look to return to the NBA Finals following their 4–1 defeat to the championship winning Boston Celtics. On July 6, 2024, the Mavericks would complete a six-team sign-and-trade that saw them acquire four-time champion shooting guard Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors, breaking apart the Splash Brothers duo there in the process. Before this season began, the Mavericks would also leave Bally Sports Southwest (later rebranded to FanDuel Sports Network Southwest as of October 21, 2024) in order to air games with TEGNA Inc. owned stations within the state of Texas.

On February 2, 2025, the Mavericks sent franchise superstar Luka Dončić alongside Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Los Angeles Lakers in a controversial blockbuster trade, in return for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 1st round pick. General manager Nico Harrison stated that the trade with Dončić related to them wanting to improve the team's defense, though it was leaked out that long-term payment and weight concerns that he had with the team at the time, with Dončić being considered eligible for the super-max contract at the time and it being reported that he was reaching 270 pounds before the trade occurred. Regardless of the reasoning, Mavericks fans immediately disapproved of the trade and had long-term demands of the team firing Harrison as general manager for the sudden surprising move. Davis later suffered an adductor injury in his debut for the Mavericks on February 8, causing him to miss extended time. Kyrie Irving also suffered a season-ending torn ACL on March 3, while several other Mavericks players were sidelined with injuries. By March 15, only eight players were considered healthy enough to play, which was the bare minimum amount of players an NBA team is required to have active for games.[2] These events led to sports commentators and fans to consider the Mavericks to be "cursed".[3][4]
On April 9, the Mavericks became the last Western Conference team to clinch a play-in spot following the Oklahoma City Thunder defeating the Phoenix Suns.
