The Mavericks entered the draft holding two first-round selections and one second-round selection.[5][6] Their own first-round selection landed ninth overall following the NBA draft lottery, while the two other selections were originally owned by the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Phoenix Suns, before Dallas acquired them from the Washington Wizards as part of the 2026 Anthony Davis trade. The additional first-round selection was conveyed to the team as it became the least favorable pick when its original owner, Oklahoma City, clinched the league's best record in the 2025–26 season. The Mavericks had also traded their original second-round pick to Oklahoma City in 2020.[7]
