Mark Cuban Denies Report That Mavericks Veteran Dwight Powell Plans to Retire

Powell, the Mavericks’ longest-tenured player with a reduced role this season, has made no official announcement.

Overview

  • Mavs Film Room, a fan-run page, reported Powell was likely to retire at season’s end citing unnamed league sources.
  • Mark Cuban responded on X with a direct “Not true,” publicly refuting the retirement claim.
  • The fan outlet said it expected pushback and stated it stands by its reporting despite Cuban’s denial.
  • Powell played five games for the Celtics in 2014 before moving to Dallas, where he has since become the team’s longest-tenured player.
  • Recent coverage notes his limited role this season at 10.9 minutes and 2.4 points per game, with some outlets inferring he will likely remain at least through this season, though the matter remains unresolved.
