SLUG: mavericks-dismiss-jason-kidd-40-million-remaining
The Dallas Mavericks have terminated head coach Jason Kidd, cutting ties even though roughly $40 million remains on his contract, the franchise confirmed Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
The move marks another significant change inside the organization, which has been undergoing widespread restructuring in recent weeks. Details about Kidd’s contractual payout or the team’s plans for a successor were not immediately disclosed.
Kidd’s dismissal comes less than two years after the coach signed his current deal, leaving a substantial sum on the team’s books. Further front-office decisions are expected as the Mavericks continue their overhaul.
