The Dallas Mavericks have hired former Philadelphia 76ers assistant coach Eric Hughes, per Tim MacMahon. Hughes has spent the last four years in Philadelphia, the last three of which came under Doc Rivers.
Hughes was an assistant on Jason Kidd’s staff with the Brooklyn Nets in 2013, and reunited with Kidd in Milwaukee from 2014-2018. Hughes coached in college as well, spending time at Illinois State, Cal, and Washington.
Hughes is the final hire in what has been a year of change for the Mavericks’ coaching staff. Greg St. Jean, Quinten Crawford, and shooting coach Peter Patton have all departed.
