On the eve of their second-round NBA playoff opener, the Dallas Mavericks have signed head coach Jason Kidd to a multiyear contract extension. Financial details of the deal were not released.
In his third season in Dallas, Kidd led the Mavs to a 50-32 (.610) regular season record and a first-round postseason win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
"We are excited to have Coach Kidd continue to lead our team throughout the coming years with this well-earned contract extension," team owner Patrick Dumont said in a statement. "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."
Inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player following a 19-season NBA career, Kidd just completed his eighth season as a head coach − first with the Brooklyn Nets, then with the Milwaukee Bucks and the past three seasons with the Mavericks.
Kidd, 51, has a career coaching record of 323-296 (.522). In his previous trip to the playoffs with the Mavericks, he led them to the Western Conference finals in 2022 before losing to the eventual champion Golden State Warriors.
