It’s October y’all, and that means game day for the Dallas Mavericks in the new NBA season is almost here.

If you’ve been following along, Dallas acquired some new talent over the summer that could potentially change the game this upcoming season. The 2024-25 season is the Mavericks' 45th and their 24th year playing at the American Airlines Center.

Here’s what you can expect to see from the Mavericks this season.

New players on the block

This summer, the Mavericks signed three big names and made one trade. Dallas said goodbye to Tim Hardaway Jr. as the Mavericks traded him to the Pistons for Quentin Grimes.

New names on the roster include:

Klay Thompson | Signed a three-year, $50 million contract. Thompson said he chose Dallas for a fresh start in a new market.

Spencer Dinwiddie | Signed a one-year free-agent contract for $3.3 million. We think Dinwiddie is a good choice due to his familiarity with Coach Jason Kidd's system. He will also act as Dončić's left-hand man, relieving some pressure for him on the court.

Naji Marshall | Signed a three-year deal worth $27 million. Marshall will add depth and versatility to the Mavericks’ rotation.

Where to stream the games

Last month, the Dallas Mavericks and WFAA’s parent company TEGNA announced a multi-year media rights agreement that will make WFAA the team's official local broadcast partner. You can also watch the game on Bally Sports, NBA League Pass, and TNT.
