Here we will look at and discuss the biggest mistake that the Dallas Mavericks may have made during the 2025 NBA free agency.

The January 2021 meeting between Montverde Academy and IMG Academy was stuffed with star power. Montverde had future NBA lottery pick Jalen Duren and eventual pros Dariq Whitehead and Caleb Houstan on its roster.

The Dallas Mavericks only made one new addition to their roster during free agency. The Mavericks were left with a hole in the backcourt following Kyrie Irving's season-ending ACL tear in March. Irving re-signed with the franchise earlier this offseason but isn't expected to return to the court until the early stages of 2026.

Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison offered an encouraging update on Kyrie Irving’s recovery from a torn ACL, noting that the All-Star guard exceeded expectations in his rehab process.

Those moves have put Dallas in a position to compete for a title in the near future. However, not everything has gone the Mavericks’ way. On Tuesday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Dereck Lively II recently underwent surgery for bone spurs in his right foot.

The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Dallas Mavericks in the summer league on Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back.

In a recent report by KCEN TV in central Texas, Odom says that he plans to move to the city of Killeen full-time and wants to build a youth sports academy. Odom also plans to begin filming his new reality show, “Mayor of Killeen,” though he didn’t go so far as to announce an intention to actually run for mayor.

Anthony Davis is now one of multiple Dallas Mavericks players who have undergone recent surgery, adding to their already eventful offseason.
