We are thrilled to have Coach Kidd continue leading our team with this well-deserved contract extension,” said Dallas Mavericks Governor Patrick Dumont. “Kidd has guided us to two playoff appearances in three seasons, and we are eager for his continued leadership as we build and grow this great franchise.”
General Manager Nico Harrison added, “I’ve known Jason for a long time, and I can’t think of anyone more qualified to lead this team. As a former NBA Champion and Hall of Fame player, Jason brings unmatched experience and expertise. He has earned the trust and respect of our players and many others across the league. I look forward to continuing to work with him to build upon the culture and foundation of success he has established during his tenure.”
Kidd is in his third season as head coach of the Mavericks, with the team achieving over 50 wins in two of those seasons (52 wins in 2021-22 and 50 wins in 2023-24) and winning the Southwest Division title this year. Under his leadership, Dallas has won a playoff series in two of his three seasons, reaching the Western Conference Finals in 2022.
