Cooper Flagg Struggles in Mavs’ Loss to Bulls

Jason Kidd was ejected after two technical fouls for disputing a denied goaltending challenge on Max Christie during the first quarter of the game, Dallas trailed 18-13 at that time.

  • On Jan 10, 2026, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd was ejected midway through the first quarter after referee Scott Foster assessed two technical fouls, and Frank Vogel served as interim head coach.
  • Kidd sought to challenge a goaltending call on Max Christie, but the Mavericks called a timeout that came too late to start the coach's challenge process, with officials saying the play would have become a block if reviewed.
  • After Kidd's exit, Chicago extended its lead to 28-18 with threes from Jalen Smith, Kevin Huerter, and an Ayo Dosunmu layup, then outscored Dallas 13-4 over four minutes.
  • The Mavericks, already shorthanded without Anthony Davis, PJ Washington and Brandon Williams, lost Jason Kidd for roughly 3.5 quarters, continuing their string of defeats as Chicago won 125-107.
  • Kidd's ejection was rare, as his last came on Dec. 19, 2022, and the Chicago Bulls entered the matchup having won 17 games.
