The 2012-13 Dallas Mavericks experienced a challenging season, finishing with a 41-41 record. This marked the first time since the 1999-2000 season that the Mavericks failed to qualify for the playoffs. Key player Dirk Nowitzki missed significant time early in the season due to knee surgery, which impacted the team’s performance.
Despite the efforts of newcomers like O.J. Mayo, who averaged 15.3 points per game, the Mavericks struggled to find consistency. The team experimented with a mix of veterans and younger players, but ultimately, they couldn’t maintain the level of competitiveness seen in previous years. Head coach Rick Carlisle faced difficulties in establishing a stable rotation, contributing to their up-and-down performances throughout the season.
The Mavericks finished 10th in the Western Conference, highlighting the need for roster adjustments. The season served as a transitional period, setting the stage for future rebuilding efforts centered around Nowitzki and potential new additions.
