Brad Davis

Brad Davis is in his 18th season with the Mavericks in the player development area. This marks his second term as a coach with the team.

On Nov. 14, 1992, Davis became the first Maverick to have his jersey retired when his No. 15 was raised to the rafters. Davis was the final member of the Mavericks 1980-81 charter season team to retire. He lasted eight years longer with Dallas than any other member of that squad.

For his NBA career, Davis averaged 8.2 points on 51.0 percent shooting in 961 games. As a Maverick, Davis averaged 8.6 points on 51.0 percent shooting with 5.1 assists in 883 games.

He lives in Arlington with his wife, Kelli, and they have three children, Erin, Mike and Cara.
