The Dallas Mavericks are expected to appoint a rising NBA assistant coach following the departure of Jason Kidd. With Masai Ujiri recently assuming control of basketball operations, speculation centers around promoting an assistant, similar to Ujiri's past coaching changes with the Toronto Raptors. Potential candidates include Jon Scheyer from Duke and Dusty May from Michigan, although no decision has been confirmed yet. The Mavericks are looking to stabilize the coaching situation as they prepare for the upcoming season.
