From City Hall to the archdiocese, San Antonio and New York leaders are putting local pride on the line.

The Dallas Mavericks announced plans to pursue the former Valley View Mall site for a new arena and entertainment district, keeping the team in Dallas as debate over City Hall continues.

MeiGray, the authentication company and photo-matching store that partners with the Dallas Wings, reported the jersey that Bueckers wore in her WNBA debut on May 16, 2025, sold for twice the previous mark for a game-worn WNBA jersey.

The Dallas business court's ruling gives the Mavericks control of the arena until the basketball team's lease ends in 2031. The Stars have already appealed the decision.

Since the Dallas Wings selected Azzi Fudd as their first draft pick just under a month ago, the team’s had a complicated start to their season.

Dallas Mavericks president Masai Ujiri says it was a difficult decision, and his alone, to remove Jason Kidd as the team’s coach after five seasons. A day after the Mavericks announced Kidd’s departure, Ujiri said Wednesday he felt like the organization needed a clean slate.

The team says it is parting ways with Kidd, describing the move as a mutual decision. The Hall of Fame point guard led the franchise to its only championship as a player in 2011. When asked about the future of Kidd at his introduction on May 5, Ujiri was noncommittal, saying he would talk to Kidd while evaluating all aspects of the team.

The Dallas Mavericks have hired former Toronto Raptors executive Masai Ujiri as team president and alternate governor. The 55-year-old Ujiri replaces Nico Harrison, who was fired as general manager in November.

Dallas’ Cooper Flagg has edged former Duke teammate Kon Knueppel of Charlotte to win the NBA Rookie of the Year award. Flagg was the first rookie since Michael Jordan in 1984-85 to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists and steals.

The Spurs' 7-foot-4 star led the NBA in blocks and anchored a defense that reshaped how opponents attacked the rim.

Azzi Fudd is on her way to Dallas as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft with a $500,000 payday waiting for the former UConn star. Fudd will pair again with former Huskies teammate Paige Bueckers, who was the Wings’ No. 1 pick last year.

Texas plays UCLA tonight at 8:30 p.m. The winner will play South Carolina or UConn in Sunday's championship game.
