Mark Cuban has alleged that Dallas Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont has engaged in “adversarial business practices” in connection with a proposed move of the franchise out of downtown Dallas.
The allegation centers on Cuban’s claim that he has been frozen out of discussions or decision-making related to the club’s potential relocation from its current downtown base. The matter highlights a significant business dispute involving prominent figures connected to the Mavericks’ ownership structure.

Cuban, long one of the NBA’s most visible team executives and public faces, remains closely associated with the Mavericks after years as the franchise’s controlling owner. Dumont serves as the team’s governor, a role that carries significant authority in NBA ownership matters.
The reported disagreement comes as questions continue around the Mavericks’ long-term arena and development plans. No further details were provided regarding the timing, scope or final status of any proposed move out of downtown.
