The 1994-95 Dallas Mavericks season was a challenging one, marked by the team’s continued struggles in the NBA. Under the guidance of head coach Dick Motta, the Mavericks finished with a 36-46 record. Despite the losing record, this season was an improvement over previous years, as the Mavericks showed signs of progress.
Key players included Jim Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, and rookie sensation Jason Kidd, who was named co-Rookie of the Year alongside Grant Hill. Kidd’s arrival bolstered the team’s performance, particularly in terms of playmaking and defense. The Mavericks, however, failed to make the playoffs, extending their postseason drought.
Overall, while the 1994-95 season did not yield playoff success, it laid the foundation for future improvement, with Kidd’s presence signaling a promising new era for the franchise. The combination of young talent provided a glimpse of potential for the upcoming seasons.
- Regular Season Record: 36-46
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
