The 1988–89 NBA season was the Mavericks' 9th season in the NBA.[1] The Mavericks got off to a fast start winning 9 of their first 12 games, but after a 17–9 start, they went on a 7-game losing streak in January, and held a 24–21 record at the All-Star break. In January, sixth man Roy Tarpley was suspended indefinitely for violating the league's anti-drug policy after only playing just 19 games.[2] At midseason, the team traded All-Star forward Mark Aguirre, who had several incidents with the team during the season, to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for former All-Star forward Adrian Dantley,[3] and dealt Detlef Schrempf to the Indiana Pacers for Herb Williams.[4] After hovering a few games over .500 for most of the season, the Mavericks collapsed and suffered a 12-game losing streak in March that sealed their fate for the entire season.[5] The Mavericks finished the season fourth in the Midwest Division with a 38–44 record. It was the first time since 1983 that the team did not make the playoffs.[6]
Rolando Blackman averaged 19.7 points per game, while Derek Harper averaged 17.3 points, 7.0 assists and 2.1 steals per game, and Sam Perkins provided the team with 15.0 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. In addition, Tarpley contributed 17.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, and James Donaldson provided with 9.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.[7]
