According to the famous reporter Stein, sources revealed that the Mavericks have signed a multi-year early contract extension with coach Kidd.

In the past two offseasons, Kidd received coaching invitations from the Lakers and Knicks respectively, and the Mavericks chose to respond with early contract extensions both times.

In May last year, Kidd reached a two-year early contract extension with the Mavericks. The previous contract extended to the 2026-27 season.

Kidd has coached the Mavericks since the 2021-22 season and has coached a total of 328 games, winning 179 of them, with a winning rate of 54.6%.
