Those moves have put Dallas in a position to compete for a title in the near future. However, not everything has gone the Mavericks’ way. On Tuesday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Dereck Lively II recently underwent surgery for bone spurs in his right foot.

Here we will look at and discuss the biggest Dallas Mavericks overreactions from the 2025 NBA Summer League games.

The deal keeps the Mavericks’ vaunted frontcourt trio of Gafford, Dereck Lively II and Anthony Davis together for the foreseeable future.

Anthony Davis is now one of multiple Dallas Mavericks players who have undergone recent surgery, adding to their already eventful offseason.

Kyrie Irving is pushing through rehab at full speed—and Mavericks GM Nico Harrison says he’s ahead of schedule. As Dallas enters a post-Dončić era, could Kyrie be the leader this revamped roster needs?

In a recent report by KCEN TV in central Texas, Odom says that he plans to move to the city of Killeen full-time and wants to build a youth sports academy. Odom also plans to begin filming his new reality show, “Mayor of Killeen,” though he didn’t go so far as to announce an intention to actually run for mayor.

The Dallas Mavericks only made one new addition to their roster during free agency. The Mavericks were left with a hole in the backcourt following Kyrie Irving's season-ending ACL tear in March. Irving re-signed with the franchise earlier this offseason but isn't expected to return to the court until the early stages of 2026.

During a live stream with four-time Celtics All-Star swingman Jaylen Brown, his one-time teammate-turned-Finals rival, Irving explained that tensions between himself and Boston reserve guard Payton Pritchard nearly boiled over at one point in the series.
