The Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, publicly rejected comments made by former NBA guard and current television analyst JJ Redick regarding Austin Reaves’ initial MRI.
In a brief statement, the organization said Redick’s description of Reaves’ medical imaging was “inaccurate” and stressed that all medical updates released by the club have been factual and complete. The Mavericks did not elaborate on which specific portion of Redick’s remarks they were disputing, nor did they provide additional medical details about Reaves.
Team officials added that Reaves continues to follow the medical plan outlined by the Mavericks’ training staff and that further information will be shared “only when appropriate.”
Redick had referenced Reaves’ first MRI during a recent media appearance, but as of Tuesday evening had not responded to the team’s rebuttal.
