The end of the Dallas Mavericks' 2024-25 season did not go as planned, as they missed the playoffs for the second time in three years after losing to the Memphis Grizzlies in the Play-In Tournament, and fans are begging for the team to get back on track in the 2025-26 season.
Dallas was already in a great spot to have a bounce-back year after they selected Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick, and with next season's schedule being released earlier today, the NBA did the Mavericks a massive favor by giving them an easier stretch to begin the season and plenty of national TV games after the tsunami of emotions they endured after the Luka Doncic trade.
