The Dallas Mavericks appear to be in full damage control mode.
Abby Jones of DLLS Sports reported Tuesday that the Mavs are offering refunds for their remaining home games this season to the fans who have cancelled their season tickets. With Dallas having 16 home games left this regular season, Jones notes that the refund is valued at around $2,000.
Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News also shared a statement from the Mavericks. The statement read, “We value every season ticket member relationship and reps are available to take calls from members with any concerns or questions.”
Mavericks fans are absolutely incensed right now after last weekend’s jaw-dropping trade of their 25-year-old franchise cornerstone Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Some fans have pulled unbelievable stunts outside American Airlines Center to protest the move, and now it looks like others are cancelling their season tickets altogether.
A $2,000 refund should be a decent concession for the angry fans. But that only applies to the remainder of this season and does nothing to address the next decade or more that the Mavs faithful were expecting to have with the five-time First Team All-NBA selection Doncic. Now the only thing that the Dallas organization can hope for is that their return package of Anthony Davis and Max Christie will help them get enough wins this season to prevent even more fans from walking out the door.
