The Dallas Mavericks split with general manager and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson split after 24 years together on June 16. He was a mainstay with the organization that helped them acquire both Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic. The departure shook up the team’s long-held stability. More changes are coming to Dallas this offseason.
Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Thursday that head coach Rick Carlisle will not be returning next season. The Mavs hired Carlisle in 2008, and he coached the organization to their lone championship in 2011.
