Overview

  • Jared Dudley is finalizing a deal to become the Denver Nuggets’ top assistant coach under David Adelman.
  • Dudley has been on the Dallas Mavericks’ coaching staff since 2021 after a 14-year NBA career that included a championship with the 2020 Lakers.
  • His expected departure marks the Mavericks’ third key assistant loss this offseason following the exits of Sean Sweeney and God Shammgod.
  • Dallas is countering these departures by finalizing Frank Vogel as lead assistant coach under Jason Kidd.
  • Since his May promotion to full-time head coach, Adelman has overseen a coaching and front-office shakeup including a co-executive vice president model under Ben Tenzer and Jonathan Wallace.
