Heading into All-Star Week in Los Angeles, an unidentified Dallas-based investor group has expressed interest in partnering with Cuban to repurchase the Mavericks from current governor Patrick Dumont, longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein reported Monday on X.
Cuban purchased a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks for about $285 million from H. Ross Perot Jr. in 2000 and sold a 73% controlling interest in the franchise in 2023 at a valuation of roughly $3.5 billion.
