Nelson revealed he'll be honored with the 2025 Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award and shared that he plans to wear Luka Doncic's signature sneakers in silent protest of the midseason trade that sent the Slovenian star from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Nelson is the winner of this year’s Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award, the National Basketball Coaches Association announced Sunday. The NBCA annually presents the award, which is named after Hall of Fame coach Chuck Daly.

The Dallas Mavericks are working out a former Los Angeles Lakers player during a free agent mini-camp as the player seeks a return to the league.

Lakers Receive Unfortunate News on Potential Mavericks Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers' biggest priority this offseason will be to upgrade their frontcourt. It would be an added bonus if it was a big man Luka Doncic has played with before. One big man they could target is Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford.

A new trade idea would land the Dallas Mavericks a perfect replacement for Kyrie Irving amid his injury issues.

The Dallas Mavericks are hosting a free agency mini-camp workout on June 9th and 10th as they look to evaluate end-of-the-bench options to fill out the roster. It was already reported that the Mavs are bringing back their former lottery pick Dennis Smith Jr. for that mini-camp, but another former highly touted prospect is also due in next week.
