Jason Kidd didn't "always enjoy" being the unofficial spokesperson for the Dallas Mavericks after they traded Luka Doncic, sources told James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

Kidd failed to address the media following a February 10 game against the Kings in which Daniel Gafford was injured.

“I just needed a break,” said Kidd about missing the media appearance. 

The news comes following rumors of Kidd and the Knicks having "mutual intrigue" over the team's vacant head coach role.

The Mavs are expected to deny any request to interview Kidd should the Knicks reach out.
