- Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont holds final decision-making authority, with Cuban saying he serves as an adviser.
- Davis has been out since Oct. 29 with a left calf strain; Jason Kidd said this week he needs about seven to ten more days, and ownership wants medical data before approving a return.
