Mavericks sign Jason Kidd to multi-year contract extension

Jason Kidd isn't going anywhere.

The Dallas Mavericks announced Monday that Kidd has signed a multi-year extension to remain the head coach of the organization.

“We are excited to have Coach Kidd continue to lead our team throughout the coming years with this well-earned contract extension," stated Dallas Mavericks Governor Patrick Dumont. "Kidd led our team to two playoff appearances in three seasons, and we are looking forward to his leadership in continuing to build and grow this already great franchise."

Kidd led the Mavs to the Western Conference Finals in 2022 in his first season at the helm and has the team in the second round of the playoffs this season following a disappointing 2022-23 season that saw Dallas miss the play-in tournament.

"I have known Jason for a long time, and I cannot think of a better, more qualified candidate to lead this team going forward," stated General Manager Nico Harrison. "As a former NBA Champion Hall of Fame player, Jason brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this role which cannot be duplicated. He has earned the trust and respect of our players and that of so many across the league, and I look forward to working alongside him as we continue to build upon the culture and foundation of success he's helped foster throughout his tenure as head coach."
