Dallas Mavericks assistant Jared Dudley is finalizing a deal to become the top assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets under David Adelman, Andy Miller of Klutch Sports told ESPN.
Dudley has been on the Mavs' staff since 2021 after a 14-year NBA career. He joins fellow longtime NBA player JJ Barea on the front of the Nuggets' bench.
The Mavericks and head coach Jason Kidd have now lost three key assistants -- Dudley, Sean Sweeney (San Antonio Spurs) and God Shammgod (Orlando Magic) -- to elevated roles with other teams.
The Mavericks are, however, finalizing a deal to hire Frank Vogel as the lead assistant coach under Kidd, sources told ESPN.
