The Mavs will play their first game of the 2024-25 season on Thursday evening when they host Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in Dallas, Texas.

Last year, they were the fifth seed in the Western Conference with a 50-32 record.

Doncic led the franchise to the NBA Finals for the first time since the 2011 season (13 years ago).

He was the third pick in the 2018 NBA Draft and has been with the Mavs for his entire career.

Many believe that Doncic could be the MVP as soon as next season.
