While the Mavs’ rotation seems to be settled, there could be a chance for those on the outside looking in to earn minutes.
Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd talks to his players during the first half of an NBA preseason basketball game against the Utah Jazz at American Airlines Center, Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, in Dallas.with his most balanced roster since taking over as coach in 2021. Now that the regular season is in full swing, it appears that Kidd’s rotation is also officially settled.
There were several questions during the preseason about the starting center spot, which could’ve easily gone to either Gafford or Lively due to their rim protection and lob-threat capabilities. The injury was a blow to the Mavericks’ point guard depth, but they had two viable options in Hardy and veteran Spencer Dinwiddie. After Dallas’ season opener, it’s clear that Hardy has won the job as the lead guard off the bench.
Kidd used a creative way to disperse minutes in Thursday’s game. The first unit was comprised of Doncic, Irving, Thompson, Washington and Gafford. The second unit included Hardy, Grimes, Marshall, Lively and sometimes Kleber.
