For now, it does seem as if he will spend the 2025-26 season with Dallas as an assistant coach once again, however. With that being said, the former NBA player is making a coaching move this offseason. On Friday, the Mavericks <a href="https://x.com/JoeyMistretta_/status/1933527561125986653" rel="noopener">announced that</a> Dudley will coach in Basketball Without Borders Asia (2025) in Singapore.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/MavsPR/status/1933527310533107919" rel="noopener">This represents the 15th edition</a> of Basketball Without Borders Asia. The event will be held at the Singapore Basketball Centre from June 19-June 22. In addition to Dudley, the campers at the event will also be coached by Tyrese Maxey, Derrick White, Duop Reath, Ticha Penicheiro, Vinay Bhavnani, Ronald Nored and Khalid Robinson.</p><p>The NBA and FIBA made the initial announcement. The campers at the event will include 30 boys and 30 girls, according to the press release.</p><h2><b>Mavericks’ Jared Dudley continues to earn valuable coaching experience</b></h2><p>Dudley has plenty of coaching experience. In addition to working as an assistant, he has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/mavs-news-jared-dudley-shines-light-on-importance-of-potential-breakout-stars-development-summer-league">coached the Mavericks’ NBA Summer League teams</a> in recent offseasons. Players have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/mavs-news-jared-dudley-praise-grant-williams">praised Dudley over the years</a>. He has seemingly earned no shortage of respect around the league.</p><p>As mentioned, Dudley has been rumored to have drawn the interest of teams in need of a new head coach. The 39-year-old will probably receive a head coaching job at some point in the future. He has continued to gain valuable experience over the years. Learning from an experienced head coach such as Jason Kidd with the Mavericks should only help matters.</p><p>For now, Jared Dudley is focused on preparing for Basketball Without Borders Asia. The Mavs have yet to announce their NBA Summer League roster, but Dudley will surely be a candidate to coach the team once again as well in Las Vegas.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has been a fan of the Lakers since the three-peat but believes LeBron James is the greatest player of all time.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Mavericks superstar Kyrie Irving is no stranger to drama, having gone through troubled seasons with the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets. When the Nets’ Big 3 blew up, they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kyrie-irving-traded-to-mavs-in-shocking-blockbuster">traded Irving to the Mavericks</a>, where he ultimately found a groove with co-star Luka Doncic. Both players led the team to their first trip to the NBA Finals since Dirk Nowitzki’s magical 2011 championship run, though they fell to the Celtics in five games. Asked about how Kyrie Irving settled in with the team, Mavericks assistant Jared Dudley credited head coach Jason Kidd for their success.</p><p>“You heard about Kyrie in the last couple places he’s been,” Dudley said via <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/41969383/how-jason-kidd-getting-most-luka-doncic-kyrie-irving" rel="noopener">a report</a> from Tim MacMahon for ESPN. “You haven’t heard one thing since he’s been in Dallas. Do you think that’s just Dallas, or do you think 80% has to do with Jason Kidd?”</p><h2><b>The Mavericks find their groove</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jason-Kidd-meeting-Kyrie-Irving-subbing-out.jpg"><figcaption>© Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Moreover, Jared Dudley credited Jason Kidd’s Hall of Fame career as a former player for his success in coaching Kyrie Irving once he arrived at the Mavericks.</p><p>“I’m going to be honest with you, there’s only two or three coaches in the league that have the cachet and personality to be able to coach Luka and Kyrie at the same time and have no problems,” the assistant coach added.</p><p>Both Dudley and Kidd have won a championship with arguably the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-goat-claim-nuggets-playoff-series">greatest player of all time in LeBron James</a> and another future Hall of Famer Anthony Davis with the Los Angeles Lakers, so they’d know a thing or two about coaching or handling superstars in the locker room.</p><p>Likewise, Dudley has also earned praise from his teammates as a locker room guy who kept team chemistry together during the highs and lows of the season and the playoffs.</p><p>Meanwhile, Irving himself echoed the assistant coach’s opinions about Kidd.</p><p>“Outside of [Jason Kidd] being a Hall of Famer and being like a well-trusted, high-level-IQ thinker? He’s also being human enough to get to know what irks a player and what makes a player go in a positive manner,” the point guard said.</p><p>Irving played two seasons in Boston after requesting a trade from the Cavaliers, coming off three straight Finals appearances and the 2016 NBA championship.</p><p>After losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in 2019, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kyrie-irving-says-signing-with-brooklyn-is-a-dream">Irving joined the Brooklyn Nets</a>, eventually forming a Big 3 with Kevin Durant and James Harden, though they never made a Conference Finals in their years together.</p><p>Ultimately, Irving butted heads with Joe Tsai, owner of the Nets, <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/kyrie-irving-suspension-nets-statement" rel="noopener">leading to suspensions</a> and even Nike dropping him as a partner. Finally, the Nets traded the disgruntled guard to the Dallas Mavericks.</p><h2><b>Looking ahead</b></h2><p>Pairing another ball-handler with Luka Doncic allowed both players to play freely, since Irving alleviated Doncic’s ball-stopping tendencies and gave him another teammate to trust with the ball.</p><p>With the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-dallas-completes-klay-thompson-acquisition-in-historic-6-team-trade">addition of Klay Thompson, the Mavericks</a> look to make another run in a slightly diminished but still stacked Western Conference.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has words and will travel, just not on the court.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Dallas Mavericks have made some big moves already this summer. An NBA Finals run was enough for the franchise to go all-in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-klay-thompson-sends-warning-to-nba-after-joining-dallas">adding Klay Thompson</a> to a roster already led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Part of sustaining that success is hitting on NBA Draft picks. Unfortunately, acting head coach Jared Dudley had to explain why the team is ‘down’ on Olivier-Maxence Prosper after a few NBA Summer League games.</p><p>Proper, known as O-Max, is pushing for a rotational spot on the varsity next season. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-dallas-olivier-maxence-prosper-2024-nba-summer-league">Mavericks have yet to see</a> the consistency that would convince the front office it is a worthwhile risk. The 22-year-old was average at best in limited NBA minutes last season and has struggled so far in Las Vegas. That’s not what the Mavericks were hoping for after making the summer All About O-Max <a href="https://www.mavs.com/prosperhopestomakerotation/" rel="noopener">according to the team’s webpage.</a></p><p>When <a href="https://twitter.com/DoingItDodson/status/1813286918676967905" rel="noopener">asked to clarify</a> by ClutchPoints, Dudley expanded on an earlier comment about the Mavericks being “down” on Prosper’s performances and development so far.</p><p>“When I say ‘a little down’ it’s because overall you want to be able to be a little bit more consistent” Dudley shared. “He didn’t play bad. Look at his numbers. He shot well from the field and stuff like that but overall we can see (where to improve).”</p><p>“His game needs to attack the basket and get to the free-throw line. He is playing hard, as hard as anybody else. He’s just got to breathe and slow down” coach continued. “We have the bar high for O-Max. We want him to be successful. It is my job to point out his deficiencies, encourage him, and find out how I can put him in the right position to be more successful.”</p><h2><b>Mavericks being patient with O-Max Prosper</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/O-Max-Prosper-with-a-highlight-block.jpg"><figcaption>Alonzo Adams-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Prosper was 2-10 from the floor and 0-3 from beyond the arc in the Summer League opener. Two steals were negated by two turnovers. He also had six rebounds, an assist, and a block in 28 minutes. The Mavericks need more from their 2023 first-round pick, but it might require a less-is-more approach to the fancy stuff and free-wheeling three-pointers.</p><p>“I’m trying to help him, coaching when he is out there that it is the fundamentals,” Dudley replied. “You saw the ATO (after time out), they threw it into the post and had a split action. He is supposed to get to the body and curl then switch. They backdoored. It’s the little stuff like being at the nail, being the low man.”</p><p>There are some encouraging signs and the team is allowing for a few uncomfortable adjustments. The level of play, both in opponent and teammate, matters. Doncic and Irving are very demanding but do put others in positions to succeed. It’s a matter of Propser paying attention to detail so that he is on the same page as the franchise’s cornerstones.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">On location for <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ClutchPoints</a>:</p><p>I asked Jared Dudley to clarify comments about the Mavs being “down” on O-Max Prosper so far this summer.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Mavericks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Mavericks</a> <a href="https://t.co/1DsEGxm9Q8">pic.twitter.com/1DsEGxm9Q8</a></p><p>— Dodson, Chris Dodson (@DoingItDodson) <a href="https://twitter.com/DoingItDodson/status/1813286918676967905?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 16, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Up next for Dallas is the undefeated Miami Heat. Prosper will be properly tested as the Heat’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kel’el Ware are serious NBA talents. Another inefficient night would bring up all the same talking points in scouting circles. A decent outing here would help Dudley advocate for Proper going into training camp.</p><p>“(Prosper) did not play a lot with us. He was in the G-League. The G-League game is different from Summer League and Summer League is different than (the NBA game),” explained Dudley. “So everything is going 100 miles an hour. He wants to play so well but it’s the little things and details for him if he wants to get on the court in Dallas.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
