2022–23 Dallas Mavericks season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2022–23 Dallas Mavericks season was the 43rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Despite being 31–26 and being fifth place in the Western Conference in February, plus trading for 8-time NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving at the trade deadline, the Mavericks suffered a late-season collapse, ending the season going 7–18 and were eliminated from play-in/playoff contention for the first time since 2019 on April 7, 2023, following a 112–115 loss to the Chicago Bulls who also missed the playoffs after they lost to the eight–seeded and eventual Conference champion Miami Heat in the Play–in Tournament .[ 1] It is also the first time since 2014 that Irving missed the playoffs when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers . After the season, the Mavericks were fined $750,000 for tanking against the Chicago Bulls for trying to increase their odds in order to retain a protected top 10 draft pick .[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
Draft
The Mavericks traded away their second-round pick in 2022.[ 6] [ 7]
