In a press conference held earlier today, Coach Kidd praised Dončić for his “exceptional leadership qualities, relentless work ethic, and deep understanding of the game.” Kidd emphasized that Luka has matured beyond just being a franchise player—he’s now the emotional and strategic core of the team both on and off the court.
“This is more than just a title,” Kidd said. “Luka has earned the respect of the entire locker room. He’s not just our star—he’s our heartbeat.”
The announcement comes after a stellar season where Dončić averaged a near triple-double and led the Mavericks deep into the playoffs. His elevation to captain is being viewed as a move to further solidify the team’s chemistry and championship ambitions.
Luka Dončić expressed his gratitude for the honor, stating, “This team is my family. I’m humbled by this responsibility, and I promise to give everything I have to lead us to greatness.”
Fans and analysts are already hailing this as a defining moment in the Mavericks’ future.
Stay tuned for more updates as the team prepares for what’s shaping up to be an electrifying NBA season.
