The Mavericks organization is committed to building a sustainable winner in Dallas and Jason Kidd is committed to seeing it through.

The Mavs announced this week that they had signed Coach Kidd to a multi-year extension to remain coach of the Mavericks for the foreseeable future. Exact terms were not announced.

This is the second time in the last two years that Dallas has extended Jason’s contract. He previously received a multi-year extension during their 2024 run to the NBA Finals. In a statement released by the team, Jason thanked Mavericks owner and team governor Patrick Dumont and general manager Nico Harrison for their continued support.

“I’m grateful for the belief that Patrick and Nico have in me, and the trust we’ve built while working together to construct a team that Dallas can be proud of. It’s even more special that I can continue to coach the team that drafted me, and where I was able to win a title as a player.”

Jason Kidd

Jason began his NBA playing career with the Mavericks when they selected him in the 1994 NBA Draft. He spent two-and-a-half years with the Mavs at the outset of his career, then returned in 2008, after tenures in Phoenix and New Jersey, and was the leader of a Dallas team that won the first NBA championship in franchise history in 2011. Kidd retired two years later and immediately took over as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. After stints in Brooklyn and Milwaukee, and a run as an assistant with the Lakers that included an NBA championship in 2020, Jason returned to Dallas as head coach in 2021.

He enters his fifth year as head coach of the Mavericks with a record of 179–149. In those four years, the Mavs appeared in the playoffs twice, making a run to the Western Conference Finals in 2022 and then winning the West in 2024 en route to just the third NBA Finals appearance in franchise history.

“Our entire organization deeply appreciates Coach Kidd’s leadership, focus and positive energy. Coach Kidd embodies everything our organization wants in a leader.”
