Former Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson has publicly addressed the franchise’s decision to allow both him and All-Star Luka Doncic to move on from the organization.
In comments published on July 3, 2026, Brunson spoke about the departures that reshaped the Mavericks’ roster, saying the club’s choice to part ways with two of its former cornerstones continues to resonate with him.
Brunson left Dallas in free agency after the 2022–23 season, while Doncic exited the following year. The pair had formed the Mavericks’ backcourt for four seasons, reaching the Western Conference finals together in 2022.
