The Dallas Mavericks addressed reports that they've offered refunds to season-ticket holders following Luka Doncic's trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to WFAA Dallas.
Reports surfaced Tuesday suggesting that the organization had offered refunds for season-ticket holders looking to cancel their seats for the remainder of the season. The social media post claiming that refunds have been offered has since been deleted.
"Regarding refunds, we value every season-ticket-member relationship, and reps are available to take calls from members with any concerns or questions," the Mavericks said in an email obtained by WFAA.
The statement added: "Regarding tickets, no determination has been made about season-ticket pricing for the 2025-26 season. Season-ticket members will hear from their reps over the next few weeks."
One season-ticket holder did receive a refund, per emails obtained by WFAA between the fan and a team representative.
"If we go ahead and cancel the season membership, we will cancel all remaining home games for the remainder of the season, starting with the 2/8 game vs. Houston," the email from the team representative read.
The email also states that a refund check will be mailed to the season-ticket holder, according to WFAA.
The Mavericks had the 11th-highest average season-ticket price ($249) in the NBA last season.
Several fans gathered outside the American Airlines Center on Feb. 2 to protest Doncic's shocking trade to the Lakers. Cries of "Sell the team" could be heard, while other fans held signs demanding that general manager Nico Harrison be fired. There were also many tributes left outside the arena thanking Doncic for his celebrated tenure with the team.
Doncic led Dallas to the 2024 NBA Finals and was selected to the All-Star Game and All-NBA first team on five occasions during his six-and-a-half seasons with the Mavs. He also won Rookie of the Year in 2019 and led the league in scoring last season.
