DALLAS—If the Los Angeles Lakers had any designs on luring Jason Kidd away from the Dallas Mavericks to replace fired Coach Darvin Ham, they will have to turn their attention elsewhere.
The Mavericks on Monday announced a multi-year contract extension for Mr. Kidd, one day before the team is set to open a second-round NBA playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Mr. Kidd’s name had previously surfaced in reports on the Lakers’ coaching search.
