Mavs block New York Knicks from speaking with Jason Kidd, reports say
The New York Knicks asked the Dallas Mavericks for permission to interview head coach Jason Kidd, but the Mavericks shut that down, CBS Sports and The Associated Press report. The Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau on June 3, despite reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years. They reached the playoffs four times in Thibodeau's five seasons and had won at least 50 games in each of the final two. The Knicks were also denied permission to speak with coaches Ime Udoka of Houston and Chris Finch of Minnesota in a slow start to find Tom Thibodeau's replacement. All three coaches are under contract and their organizations declined to make them available for interviews with the Knicks, two people with knowledge of the details said Wednesday. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the interview process was to remain private. Knicks president Leon Rose interviewed Kidd and Udoka in 2020 before hiring Thibodeau. Both also played for the Knicks, with Kidd ending his Hall of Fame career on the team that reached the 2013 playoffs, which was the Knicks' last appearance before Thibodeau's arrival. Kidd has been the head coach of the Mavs since 2021 and led the Mavericks to the 2024 NBA Finals. He has not publicly addressed the rumors. ___ AP Basketball Writer Tim Reynolds in Indianapolis contributed to this report.

Wings' move to downtown Dallas postponed at least a year by construction delays
DALLAS — The Dallas Wings' move to a renovated downtown arena has been postponed at least a year because of construction delays while a new practice facility is expected to be completed on time. Club CEO and managing partner Greg Bibb told The Dallas Morning News on Wednesday the Wings will play at least one more season at the University of Texas at Arlington, about 20 miles from downtown Dallas. The WNBA team has played in Arlington since moving from Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the 2016 season. The Dallas City Council gave final approval Wednesday to the $55 million practice facility set to be built a few miles west of downtown. Bibb said the Wings plan to use that facility while still playing home games in Arlington. The arena under renovation, which will be called the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas Memorial Arena, is the former home of the Dallas Chaparrals of the American Basketball Association. That franchise became the NBA's San Antonio Spurs in 1973. The city approved $7.7 million for renovations last year as part of a 15-year use agreement, which included a provision that the practice facility had to be completed by 2026. ___ AP WNBA:
