Dallas Mavericks refuse to close the door on landing Duke's Jon Scheyer

Only two NBA teams have head coaching vacancies remaining as the 2026 NBA Draft draws near, one of those teams being the Dallas Mavericks. Earlier this spring, the Mavericks were said to have reached out to Duke head coach Jon Scheyer, recruiting him to pair up with Cooper Flagg once again.

While Scheyer hasn’t addressed the rumors, he was seen working out with Flagg earlier this week. Following that workout, NBA insider Marc Stein revealed that Dallas is still holding out hope to land Scheyer.

“Dallas has wanted to give Duke’s Jon Scheyer every conceivable opportunity to consider a leap to the NBA,” said Stein.

While it’d be shocking for Scheyer to depart this late into the offseason, reuniting with Flagg certainly gives him an intriguing option this summer.
