Mavericks reportedly deny Knicks' attempt to speak with Jason Kidd after team was denied on Ime Udoka and Chris Finch
Amid speculation that he may become the new head coach of the New York Knicks, the Dallas Mavericks fully expect Jason Kidd will remain with the organization for the foreseeable future. The Mavericks have been privately insisting to key stakeholders that Kidd will not be leaving the franchise this offseason, according to The Athletic's Christian Clark and Sam Amick. Instead, Kidd is reportedly hoping to parlay the Knicks' interest in him into a new contract extension with the Mavericks. Advertisement Specifics of that deal, including what it will look like or when it will be finalized, are not yet known. The report comes amid speculation the Knicks — who fired coach Tom Thibodeau last week following their exit from the Eastern Conference finals — would try to make a play for Kidd. The organization had serious interest in hiring Kidd, per The Athletic, but were denied the opportunity to speak with the coach, NBA insider Marc Stein reported Wednesday. The Knicks also requested permission to speak with Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch and Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka for their open job, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. They were denied on those requests. Kidd has spent the past four seasons with the Mavericks. He's compiled a 179-149 record and led them to their first NBA Finals appearance last season since 2011, when the team still had star Luka Dončić on the roster. While Dončić has since been traded away, the Mavericks won the NBA Draft lottery this spring and are now in position to select Duke star Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick later this month. Advertisement The Mavericks also struck a deal to hire longtime assistant Jay Triano on Tuesday. Triano, who was last on Mike Brown's staff in Sacramento, will join the team as a lead assistant. According to The Athletic, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison made it clear to Triano that Kidd would be the team's head coach next season when hiring him. The Knicks surprised the NBA world last week when they parted ways with Thibodeau, who led the team to the conference finals for the first time since 2000. He brought the team back to relevance, too, and made four postseason appearances in five years after a seven-year drought from the playoffs. There are several notable names who could replace Thibodeau in New York, though that coaching search is just getting started. New York is the only team in the league without a head coach.

15 people were on boat that exploded in Fort Lauderdale on Memorial Day: FWC
The boat that exploded in Fort Lauderdale on Memorial Day — injuring 11 people — was a 39-foot Sea Ray with 15 people on board, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Tuesday. The vessel exploded in the Intracoastal Waterway, near the New River Triangle sandbar, around 5:45 p.m. Monday, the U.S. Coast Guard told the Miami Herald. Eleven people — including two young children — were hospitalized with injuries. Some were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's burn unit in Miami, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said. Emergency dispatcher communications tell of a chaotic scene with several people in the water and people suffering burn injuries. The injured children include a 5 year old, a paramedic said on scanner audio reviewed by the Herald. 'A lot of them had burns to much of their body,' fire rescue spokesperson Frank Guzman said. In the immediate aftermath of the fire, Guzman said he was not aware of any fatalities. READ MORE: Multiple people injured in Fort Lauderdale boat explosion, Fire Rescue says The FWC, which is leading the probe into the incident, responded to the scene at 6 p.m. A Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue investigator was also on scene. Monday's blast is at least the second major boat explosion in Fort Lauderdale in the last six months. On Dec. 24, a boat was engulfed in flames after it exploded at Lauderdale Marina while a boater was fueling up, killing a man and injuring five others. In 2024, the FWC investigated 33 boat fires and explosions, with half of those cases involving fuel, according to the agency's annual report. 'Please don't let me die' Bret Triano and Marisa Toomsen were hanging out at the sandbar in the Intracoastal when they saw the boat explode. 'There was this boat trying to leave the sandbar and when they went to start their boat up, it just exploded,' Triano said. 'It was a huge fireball and people were kind of falling off the boat, so we ...just tried to go help out.' After getting a friend to call 911, the two got in their dinghy and pulled a man who was in his 30s out of the water. He was screaming, and his skin was burned 'pretty badly,' Toomsen said. The two good Samaritans got the man to shore, where the Coast Guard was waiting. 'He was saying, 'Save me, please don't let me die,'' Triano said. Miami Herald reporter Pierre Taylor contributed to this report.
