Dallas Mavericks Coach Jason Kidd to Miss Game Against Denver Nuggets Due to Non-COVID Illness, Undefeated Mavs Headed by Assistant Coach

Assistant Coach Sean Sweeney to lead Mavs; had previously recorded a 3-1 win rate when stepping in for Kidd in the 2021-2022 season.

Dallas Mavericks' Head Coach Jason Kidd will not be coaching in their game against Denver Nuggets due to a non-COVID-related illness.
Assistant Coach Sean Sweeney will be taking Kidd's place; it's not his first time as he previously led the team to a 3-1 win when Kidd was in health and safety protocols last season.
Mavericks are off to a remarkable start this season with a 4-0 record, making them the only undefeated team in the Western Conference, a feat they last achieved in 2004-2005 season.
Their current success has not only relied on the coaching staff, but also on performance from key players such as Luka Dončić and Tim Hardaway Jr., who have shown impressive statistics early in the season.
Despite the early success, the upcoming game with Denver Nuggets will be their first big challenge this season - if they beat the Nuggets, it may firmly place them as top contenders in the Western Conference.
