The Dallas Mavericks made it official today confirming that longtime radio analyst Brad Davis has retired after 27 years. Brian Dameris has been named his replacement. Dameris is the former Director of Basketball Development for the Mavericks and studio analyst on Mavs TV broadcasts. He also co-hosted a Mavericks postgame radio show on The Ticket for several years. Dameris additionally co-hosts a podcast with Mavericks TV voice Mark Followill, Take Dat Wit You.
Davis, who is one of only four Mavericks players with their jerseys retired, had provided game commentary since 1997. Dameris will now take over and work with radio play-by-play voice Chuck Cooperstein on The Eagle 97.1. The Mavericks are also broadcast on Spanish radio on Zona MX 99.1 FM with play-by-play announcer Victor Villalba.
Additionally, the Mavericks announced the launch of MavsTV, the team’s official new telecast destination for the 2024-25 NBA season. In its inaugural season, MavsTV will carry over 70 games not exclusively televised nationally directly to fans within the team’s local broadcast footprint, for free over-the-air. Fans can also access MavsTV via the new subscription-based streaming service inside the NBA App. A new MavsTV app, with game coverage, exclusive footage and original on-demand content, will launch later this season.
“We have been waiting for this moment for a long time,” said Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall in a release. “We are thrilled to offer multiple options for our fans who deserve seamless, enjoyable viewing experiences.”
The Mavericks television crew includes Followill along with Derek Harper and Devin Harris, Dana Larson, Lesley McCaslin and Jeff ‘Skin’ Wade.
