T he Dallas Mavericks are expected to give coach Jason Kidd a contract extension before next season starts, according to Marc Stein. That should put to bed any lingering questions about his future with the Mavericks.

The Mavericks and D'Angelo Russell agreed to a two-year deal worth $13 million this week, giving the Mavs a strong scoring guard instead of injured starter Kyrie Irving. Russell adds another offensive weapon for head coach Jason Kidd and his staff to use in tinkering lineups, featuring rookie Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis.

Don't fret, Dallas Mavericks fans—despite the flurry of reports about Jason Kidd this offseason, an extension is expected at some point before the 2025-26 campaign kicks off.
