Jamahl Mosley is no longer Dallas Mavericks assistant

The Orlando Magic are replacing Steve Clifford, who mutually parted with the team last month. Jamahl Mosley has agreed to a four-year deal becoming the team’s new head coach.

Mosley’s role with the Mavericks over the past seven years has notably included his close connection and impactful work with All-NBA guard Luka Doncic. After Mosley replaced a quarantined Rick Carlisle for a Mavericks victory over the Knicks in Madison Square Garden in April, Doncic told reporters of Mosley, “He’s got the things needed for a head coach.”

Mosley, 42, spent the past seven years with the Mavericks under Carlisle, ultimately taking on the associate head coaching role. Mosley also served on the staffs of the Cleveland Cavaliers (2010-2014) and Denver Nuggets (2005-2010). Mosley’s offensive philosophy has been shaped under two Hall of Fame-level coaches: Carlisle and George Karl.
